You’ve reached the end of the TOPUCU
Starter Program, but this is only the beginning

what we’ve discussed. First, think about the

experience now, as you’re changing, is nothing
compared to the pain you may feel if you decide
to stay in your current situation.
In LESSON FOUR we talked about the 7 E’s to
help control your thinking. You have to stop
negative thoughts at the first E, “Entrance,”
and conversely you need to nurture the positive
thoughts all the way through to the final E,
which stands for “Enveloped.”
In LESSON FIVE we talked about visualization
and used the example of the image on a puzzle
box to illustrate the idea of having a picture of
what you’re reaching for. You must continue to
visualize your goal and reach for it one piece
at a time.

Lesson 1-7 Recap
In LESSON SIX we talked about the value of
time. You need to make a list of the 6 most
important tasks to accomplish each day and get
them done. Work to optimize the 168 hours you
have in each week.
And finally, in LESSON SEVEN, we learned about
the importance of burning the bridge. You must
visualize the challenges that are keeping you
from changing or causing you to go back to
your old habits, put them on top of that bridge
and blow them up!
Now that you’ve completed the Seven Lessons,
you should have a good mental understanding
of what true transformation is and hopefully you
have turned this knowledge into action. Over
the next eight weeks we are going to ask you to
spend about 10 to 15 minutes a day, five days a
week, putting what you’ve learned into writing.
Don’t take this step lightly.
BE SELF-DISCIPLINED!
Did you notice how the word “self” comes
before the word “discipline.” This means that
YOU have to discipline you to become who you
want to become. Keep an eye on that TOPUCU
wristband as a constant reminder of what
you’re working on and as a reminder to finish
the Eight-Week course so that you can open
your finisher-band envelope.
Don’t give up! Don’t stop making progress!
Don’t stop taking steps toward positive
transformation. Because when you quit before
you reach your goal; when you give in to laziness
or complacency, when you don’t finish what
you start, “The Only Person U Cheat is U!”
