Will you let us help You Live Your Dream, Save Taxes, Earn an Incredible Income, Get More Time for Fun, Create Success Faster, and Stay Healthy with Proven World Class Coaching and Products for Successful Living?

[B]: Before I Start Let Me tell You a Little About Me:

[1]: Let me tell you who I am, [2]: What my life was before this opportunity, [3]: What the challenges were I faced with my lifestyle, career, health and wealth, [4]: Who entered my life, [5]: What they said to me about this opportunity that compelled me to look at this, [6]: What is the new path is that I am on, [7]: What changed in my life, [8] What will change in the future, [9]: What I recommend you do. [10]: When I am done I will ask you for a decision about this.

[C]: This is what we can do for you:

[1]: Save You on Taxes:

Save you $3,000 to $15,000 annually in tax deductions through Congressional Mandate. A family with 1 kid the estimated deduction is $3,000-$4,000. A family with 3 kids the estimated deduction is $7,000 and $8,000. A family deductions with 3 or more kids the estimated deduction is $10,000 and $15,000 annually.

There are 2 requitements: [1]: You have intent to make a profit and [2]: You have to have proof of intent to make a profit. What you do is employ yours kids as independent contractors in your business and you pay them with debit cards. Then you take them to the store and purchase their items. This is the largest mandidated tax deduction permitted for small businesses.

The average American overpays their taxes by $4,500 annually according to Sandy Botkin is a CPA and former Attorney for the IRS who has taught hundreds of thousands of taxpayers how to save on their taxes with his Tax Reduction Institute seminars.

Most people start a business with us to create extra income can save $5,000 or more in taxes just by starting a home-based business! Something that is often overlooked is the massive tax savings that are available to you right away by starting a Home-Based Business. Sandy Botkin, nationally re-known tax advisor, says in his new book “Lower Your Taxes Big Time”! This tax savings deductable more than covers the costs of starting a new business with us.

So remember, when you join us, the government gives you from $300 to $15,000+ annually back in tax deductions.  In 10 years, that could equal $3,000 to $150,000+. This is congressionally mandated. Is this something you would like to do?

[2]: Save You On Health Expenses and Help You Live Longer:

Save you $4,364 on single, individual health coverage and $8,439 for family health coverage not included in insurance. [Insurance Deductibles]. A deductible is the amount you pay for health care services each year before your health insurance pays its portion of the cost of covered services.

One study found in 2020, the average annual deductible for single, individual coverage is $4,364 and $8,439 for family coverage. Keep in mind, individual health insurance plans’ deductibles vary considerably: some may be as low as $0.

Remember it could cost you out of pocked from $4,000 to $8,000+ a year not to stay healthy. In addition joining us your products and services could keep you healthy for life. Over 10 years that could save you $40,000 to $80,000.

Whether you start a business or not these insurance deductable more than covers the costs of buying health products in our new business. Is saving this kind of money something you would like to do?

[3]: Provide You With An Opportunity to Earn More:

Pay you from $280, $800, $2,500, $5,000+ monthly working 10-12 hours a week. People working with us earn from $56,298 to $561,447 annually based on their compliance with our systems and work efforts.

Would it be OK to explain to you how we do it?

We Apply the Time Leverage Business Formula Hypothetical to Determine
Earnings: We are in the time leverage business.

What this means is: [1]: You put in 10 Hours = 10 Hours Doing the Same Thing [DTST]; [2]: Your team of 10 x put in 10 hours = 110 Hours [100 Team Hours + Your 10 Hours]; [3]: Your team of 100 x put in 10 hours that equals 1010 Hours [1000 Team Hours + Your 10 Hours].

[4]: Your team of 1,000 puts in 10 Team hours + Your 10 Hours = 10,010 Hours [ You? Put in Just 10 Hours]. In a perfect world you would be paid for 10,010 hours but you only put in 10 Hours.

Real Life Hypothetical to Determine Earnings:

If you reduced those hours by 75% the result would be: [1]: Only 20% of your team putting in 10 Hours. That equals 2000 Hours. That is 200 team members putting in 10 Hours a week. That would equal 2000 Hours from your team who put in 200 Hours + your 10 hours.

How many hours did you put in? You put in only 10 Hours for the week. If you get paid weekly at $2 an Hour you would have earned $4,000 a week or $16,000 a month. If you reduced these figures by another 70% you would be earning $5,000 a month or $60,000 annually for only 480 hours annually [40 hours a month x 12 months equals 480 hours for the year].  Would you like to get started earning this kid of money?

[4]: Give You a Risk Free Investment to Start:

A few hundred dollars to get started with No Risk. Keep in mind that the start up business package and your monthly autoship products may also be totally tax deductable.   Remember to get those tax deductions you have to have [1]: an intent to make a profit and [2]: proof of intent to make a profit.

[5]: Give You 100% Personal Guarantee:

A 100% Money Back 90 to 180 Days No Risk Personal Satisfaction Guarantee.

[6]: Give You Complete Coaching and Mentoring:

We want you to know if you join us you are not in business by yourself. We are here to help you every step of the way. Do you think we can do this together?

[7]: Accept Your Decision:

Is this something you would like to do? See for yourself how it is possible.  There is absolutely NO RISK!

[8]: Help You Successfully Get Started:

Are you thinking you should get started?  There are 7 ways to get started. [1]: Register, [2]: Subscribe to coaching, [3]: Build a list, [4]: Schedule a get started session, [5]: Set your goals, [6]: Engage your coaching team, [7]: Decide how much you want to earn, when you want to earn it, what you will do to earn it, schedule your time to build your business,  and [8]: Get started. 

[9]: You Can Do This! 

When you join us you will see what we did, how we did it and how you can get those same results.  You are already doing it but have not been getting paid for what you are doing.

It does not matter what you do for a living. These ideas can save or add thousands to your income… And turn you into a millionaire within 2.5-5 years.  Is this something you would like to do?

[D]: That Brings Us to the End:

You know how plans like this they always make some big emotional plea and tell you that you should spend more time with your family, retirement funds are short, that most people are broke at age 65… would it be OK if we didn’t make an emotional pitch here and just told you what the next step is?

OK?

We’ve been doing this for years and people always fall into 5 groups… so the next step is simple. Please let us know which group you are in… whichever group you are in, that’s the final answer. 

No one is going to tell you why you should be in another group. We promise you… and we’ll keep our promise if you’ll just let us know your decision. Fair enough? Are you OK with that?”

• Group 1 – these are folks who see this as a really nice way to make an extra 1500 or so a month, have some fun and like the idea of making some very nice extra money from home very, very part-time… if that describes you we welcome you to the team…

Group 2 – This group wouldn’t touch this with a 10-foot pole… they don’t care that Buffet, Trump, AT&T, Sprint and Kyosaki love this model… their noses are so far up in the air that if they go out when it’s raining… they may drown… and I’m pretty sure they’ve already left [chuckle]

Group 3 – This group has no interest in the business or making extra income but want to try the product. Since customers are what drive our business, we love being able to get you the product delivered right to your door and REALLY welcome you!

Group 4 – This sort of described me… It sounded good but I had some reservations and questions….to this day my wife and I are so grateful to Harry who answered all our questions, and I had several….but he was so patient and made sure I got the answers I needed to make a decision…..then, to my surprise, worked with me to teach me, step by step what to do and it changed our life…

Group 5 – we rarely have anyone in this group… these are the type o folks who “see it” and the huge potential… they are going to build it fast, big and right now…
and make a ton of money…

[E]: So let us know if this is you.

If you want to start a new life, career or business that can thrive in any economy, then this is a must do. It does not matter if you are 70 years old, working full-time, and have zero business experience. Even if you are doubting yourself or worried about what is going on… We can change the way you look at improving your life and show you proven ways to rapidly ramp up your earnings.

[F]: Thank you for letting us share this with you. Let us know which of the 5 groups you are in… again.  If you’ll just extend that courtesy, honestly letting us know which of the 5 groups you are in, we will keep our promise and accept your decision.

MKS-20: Business of the 21st Century Moments to Manifest Anything

The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel Free eBook Download PDF | Cosmic Gateway

This is Your Moment to Discover the Hidden Keys to Manifest Wealth, Prosperity or Abundance No Matter What You Face Today.

Thoughts are things.  Maybe not in the same sense as paper clips, cell phones and jumbo shrimp are things – but in the way that nuclear fusion, kinetic energy, and centrifugal force are things. 


Thoughts are prayers.  Maybe not in the same sense as beseeching a supernatural entity for a specific outcome – but in the way that you send an idea into a mastermind, harnessing a greater consciousness for its fruition.

Thoughts are meditation.  Maybe not in the same sense as sitting lotus style with candles, chanting mantras – but in the way that you seek to quell the inner cacophony of mental distractions to commune with your Self. 

It would be hard to find anything more impactful for manifesting health, happiness, and prosperity than the ability to mindfully manage your thoughts. 

Thought is how you develop self-awareness.  Thought is how you build yourself up or tear yourself down. Thought is how you pull prosperity from the ethers and manifest it on the physical plane. 

To live a rich, harmonious, and enlightened life requires:

  • Thinking about what you think about.
  • Developing the self-awareness to become the “thinker of the thought,” not the recipient of the thought.
  • Mindfully curating the people and other sources you allow to influence your thoughts.
  • Developing the discernment to question premises, so you can better evaluate the quality of both the thoughts you have and the ideas you receive from others.

In the sense outlined above, most people are praying and meditating constantly. 

Unfortunately, what they’re praying and meditating about most is money, how to get more of it, what they’re going to do with it if they get it – along with all the other manipulative mind viruses they’ve let their subconscious mind get infected with. 

Until you bring the subconscious thoughts up to conscious thoughts, they will control your life and you’ll ascribe it all to fate, luck, or destiny. 

We have been sharing some powerful teachings lately about how to thrive in times of crisis with the Master Key System. What you may not is that this knowledge and understanding of Master Key System and Experience was born during a major crisis…

The country was in recession.

The author was broke and jobless. Bill collectors were calling. And he was about to be evicted from his small dwelling…

One night, literally living on a prayer, he sat in his meditation chair and laid down the gauntlet to whatever God may be in heaven and said…

“Either this spiritual stuff is b.s. or I’m not getting it! But one way or another I am going to find out, ‘cause I am not leaving until I do — even if they have to pry my cold, penniless hands from this fake chair!”

Daylight turned to dusk. The crickets came out for their nightly chorus. And he wrestled with his demons, getting pinned to the mat over and over again.

At some point, before dawn, a Voice inside began to speak…revealing the Master Keys to an inner wealth that shattered everything the world had taught him… Shortly thereafter, he created a business earning a year’s worth of income for only a few hours of consistent work.

And that was just the beginning…

It took him from living on mac n’ cheese in a one-room apartment and bankrupt, to regular income, launching his life’s work, finding true love, and living in a beautiful home in Hawaii. He became financially secure over the next couple years.


It has added millions to his other people’s accounts and his accounts. It helped them create new lives, new careers, launch businesses, build their clientele, and eliminate debt, pay less in taxes, live longer, have much more time for their loved ones and much more.

The biggest benefit was how it has helped him and so many others to thrive no matter what conditions or crises they faced.

Now it your turn.

Join the Master Key System and Experience. Tell us what you want and this training, “The Master Key System to Create Your Wants and Needs – No Matter What You Face” will help you get it.

The Master Key System is a brilliant presentation about life, the power of positive and creative thinking, and moreover, and possibly most importantly, that with training and discipline, ANYONE can control their circumstances and make their dreams come true.

  • The Master Key System Coaching offers innovative online learning for highly motivated, intuitive service-based entrepreneurs, consultants, coaches, consultants, counselors, and teachers, who have a passion for the helping profession.
  • “The Master Key System Coaching” will make you a greater, better personality, equipped with a new power to achieve any worthy personal purpose and a new ability to enjoy life’s beauty and wonder. 

We will share… 

…the entire life-changing message that came through to us and millions of others, about the true nature of wealth and how to manifest it no matter what challenges you are in.  

We will be working with people, doing healings and activations.

This training will not happen again this year, so please make your abundance a priority…now more than ever.

Join Us. Discover the Master Keys to Manifest Whatever You Want

In this first Introductory Coaching Session of The Master Key System…

You will discover.

[1]: What Charles F. Haanel calls the “world within” and the “world without.”

What did he mean by those terms? The world within is one’s mind. It is one’s thoughts. It’s one’s feelings. (3) The Master Key System – [CHARLES HAANEL] – The Secret of a Success Mindset – YouTube

As Mr. Haanel wrote, its forces are mighty, “The world without, is a “reflection of the world within.” The world within can alter the world without. It happens all the time. It is part of the interplay that happens between the two. It is what we like to call “Life’s Dance.”

[2]: The #1 Reason Most People End Up Broke and how to repattern this flawed programming.

[3]: How to Make the Whole World a Channel of Your Wealth no matter what your conditions.

[4]: How to Crank Up Your Wealth-Creation Capacity, even in an economic downturn.

[5]: How to Set Yourself Up for Security & Long-Term Success during a crisis and beyond.

AND A LOT MORE!

There are many examples of the Power of the Master Key System all about us. Sociologists have been investigating it for quite some time, an example being Phillip Zimbardo‘s Stanford Prison Experiment.

Investor George Soros used Karl Popper‘s theory of “Reflexivity” to make more than a billion dollars trading currency. Popper’s reflexivity is an example of the Power of the Master Key System — the world within influencing the world without and vice versa.

The influence of the world without and the world within (and vice versa) is possible because, as Charles Haanel wrote, we “live in a fathomless sea of plastic mind substance.”

“Blows my mind…”

The support I received from the Master Key Experience in mastering new skills was invaluable and the assistance, even when in a deep dark hole of desperation, is beyond words to describe.

I was walked through every aspect of creating a business, how to make it attractive, how to make it profitable, and most importantly, how to deal with my own feelings of ‘not good enough’ and lack of confidence.From having basically nothing before starting this Mastermind Experience, what I have accomplished in one year simply blows my mind!

I highly, highly recommend this course to any entrepreneur to create whatever they want to create. They will be helped and supported, encouraged, and taught everything they need to know to get their offering out into the world. I am so grateful to Mark J and his staff!  

Helping someone discover their true purpose, unlock their unique genius, and make a living at their life’s work is my greatest joy — especially when I help them do it in minutes instead of months or years.

The Master Key System, Translated - Home | Facebook

The World Without and the World Within in The Master Key System

Everything that we see and have and that moves us and influences us are ideas. This world of ideas — this world in which we live and which in turn moves us — is what Mr. Haanel meant when he wrote “plastic mind substance.” Think how often the world is changed by an idea — an idea brought to fruition by one’s actions and daring.

The car …

… the light bulb …

… the indoor toilet …

… the computer …

… the cellular phone …

… Each and every idea that in turn changed us and changed the world in which we “swim.”

The Change That Is Unlocking the World

The change that is unlocking the world is a change of thought and it is happening to all classes of people — from the highest and most cultured to those laboring and struggling.

It has been happening for a long time, but now — today! — it is happening at an accelerated pace.

This is what Charles F. Haanel wrote about in all of his books. This is what the rich and the powerful knew — and continue to know.

They know that wealth and success are not necessarily the products of luck, money, talent, or anything else.

They know that to be a part of this change means to unlock the power within yourself. It means to revel in ambition, experience joy in each success, and feel the warmth of a humanity that is at peace and driven toward the truth that we were meant to be grand.

If you are not part of the change, then you will find yourself ever more falling behind.

The old adage: “The rich get richer while the poor get poorer” is taking on unprecedented validity as those who unlock the power within themselves will collect unimaginable dividends and interest — while those who hide their treasure will find themselves unable to partake of even the lowest luxuries.

Just look around you to see the truth in that.

Those who remain ignorant of their powers are seldom rewarded. They quickly find themselves to be slaves rather than masters, followers rather than leaders, laborers rather than thinkers. By ignoring their inner selves, they obtain no interest or dividend from their treasure.

Like a miser who hoards his money, they die alone and the fortune they could have had becomes dust in the wind.

The Master Key System - Week 2 - Completed Thoughts

The people who unlock their personal storehouse of treasure use their ideas, talents, minds, and knowledge to mold the world and bring about positive change.

And for that they are handsomely paid…

If you listen to the Master Key System, and apply it, you will never see your life the same — and it will never be the same — guaranteed. We cannot wait to see your full potential emerge and help you make the impact (and, yes, income) you desire and deserve!

The voice on that fateful night turned Mark J’s whole life around. We know it can do the same for you.

The old adage: “The rich get richer while the poor get poorer” is taking on unprecedented validity as those who unlock the power within themselves will collect unimaginable dividends and interest — while those who hide their treasure will find themselves unable to partake of even the lowest luxuries.

What will it be for you? Don’t miss this EXPERIENCE where you will finally see life, your place in it, and your true power to create it like never before!

MKS: From Victim to Hero! The Untold Story

Are You a Winner or a Victim? Are You a Victim or a Hero? Are You On Your Hero’s Journey? “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.”   -Christopher Reeve

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” -Joseph Campbell-

Ever notice that many stories seem to have a similar pattern? There’s always a protagonist who goes on an adventure, makes new friends, encounters roadblocks, fights a bad guy, and returns home a changed person.

We can sum it up for you in two words: Hero’s Journey. For instance consider Janine Sheprrd’s Hero Journey: Cross-country skier Janine Shepherd hoped for an Olympic medal — until she was hit by a truck during a training bike ride.

She shares a powerful story about the human potential for recovery. Her message: you are not your body, and giving up old dreams can allow new ones to soar. (3) Janine Shepherd: A broken body isn’t a broken person – YouTube

The Hero’s Journey Story structure is as old as time. From Theseus and the Minotaur to The Lion King, so many narratives follow this pattern that it’s ingrained in our cultural DNA today. Consider Aimee Mullins Story: The opportunity of adversity | Aimee Mullins

Hero's Journey 101: Definition and Step-by-Step Guide (With Checklist!)

[A]: What is the Hero’s journey? The Hero’s Journey is a common story structure shared by cultures worldwide, in which a character ventures into unknown territory to retrieve something they need. Facing conflict and adversity, the hero ultimately triumphs before returning home, transformed. (3) The Highest Hero’s Journey – What It Means To Be Real Hero – YouTube

How 'Rocky IV' Became the Franchise's Greatest Guilty Pleasure

[B]: What Is A Hero? Obviously, there are many different definitions to the word hero. For some it might mean a political or religious figure. For others, a beloved relative or friend. It might even mean comic books and spandex to few.

Some heroes don’t have supernatural powers. Some heroes haven’t changed the world. Some heroes aren’t even famous. What’s the tried and true qualifier for a hero then? At some point a hero has impacted another person’s life. Heroes are personal. Affecting the lives of thousands is great, but one is enough.

Heroes are trailblazers. Heroes overcome great challenges. Heroes have all the
weaknesses the rest of us have—greed, fear, hate—but they have mastered and defeated them. Heroes make their heroic deeds look easy, even though they’re not

Heroes inspire more heroes. It’s a side effect of their actions. Seeing them do their best, inspires us to do our best. The heroic spirit is kept alive and reborn for a new generation. The Highest Hero’s Journey (3) The Highest Hero’s Journey – What It Means To Be Real Hero – YouTube

Someday you might want to be a hero yourself. You’ll need to know how this whole hero thing works. Along the way, you might also discover that heroes aren’t confined to the lofty heights of Mount Olympus or even the Bat-Cave. They might be everyday people right here on earth, a lot closer than you thought. (3) What makes a hero? – Matthew Winkler – YouTube

[C]: 12 Steps to a Better Life. Rocky’s Hero’s Journey Example. [1]: The Ordinary World: Rocky Balboa is introduced as a mediocre boxer and loan collector — just doing his best to live day-to-day in a poor part of Philadelphia.

[2]: Call to Adventure: Apollo Creed, the undisputed World Heavyweight Champion, decides to make a big fight interesting by giving a no-name a chance to challenge him. Intrigued by the nickname, “The Italian Stallion,” he rings Rocky up.

[3]: Refusal of the Call: Rocky says, “Thanks, but no thanks,” to Creed’s invitation. He’s reluctant, given that he has no trainer and is incredibly out of shape.

[4]: Meeting the Mentor: In steps former boxer Mickey “Mighty Mick” Goldmill, who sees potential in Rocky and starts training him physically and mentally for the fight.

[5]: Crossing the First Threshold: Rocky fully accepts the gauntlet to square up when he crosses the threshold into his love interest Adrian’s house and asks her out on a date.

[6]: Tests, Allies, Enemies: Rocky continues to try and win over Adrian while making a dubious friend in her brother, Paulie.

[7]: Approach to the Inmost Cave: The Inmost Cave in Rocky is Rocky’s own mind. He fears that he’ll never amount to anything — something that he reveals when he butts heads with his trainer, Mickey, in his apartment.

[8]: Ordeal: The start of the training montage marks the beginning of Rocky’s Ordeal. He pushes through it until he glimpses hope ahead while running up the museum steps.

[9]: Reward (Seizing the Sword): Rocky’s reward is the return of his faith in himself. He regains the self-esteem to realize that he has the stuff to take on Apollo Creed — win or lose.

[10]: The Road Back: On New Year’s Day, the fight between Rocky and Creed is held. Rocky realizes the challenge that lies before him in the first few rounds, in which both men are more or less equally matched.

[11]: Resurrection: Rocky’s knocked down more than a few times as the fight continues. The entire fight winds up lasting 15 rounds and takes both men to the brink of exhaustion.

[12]: Return with the Elixir: Rocky doesn’t win the fight — but he doesn’t care. He’s won back his confidence and beaten his mental demons. And he’s got Adrian, who tells him that she loves him.

[D]: Make Your Better Life Using 12 Steps of the Hero’s Journey. Ask yourself and analyze where you are in regard to the 12 steps of the Hero’s Journey.

Which step are you on? [1]: The Ordinary World: [2]: Call to Adventure: [3]: Refusal of the Call: [4]: Meeting the Mentor: [5]: Crossing the First Threshold: [6]: Tests, Allies, Enemies: [7]: Approach to the Inmost Cave: [8]: Ordeal: [9]: Reward: [9]: Reward (Seizing the Sword): [10]: The Road Back: [11]: Resurrection: [12]: Return with the Elixir:

The best way to examine your life on your Hero’s Journey is to apply three Guidelines for Self-Examination [1] Be intentional. Set aside a specific time to examine your own life. Find a place where you can be alone. [2] Be specific. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to see what is going on in your life. Read the Ten Commandments… [3] Be a believer.

The 12 areas of the Circle of Life or Primary Foods — Steemit

The best way to analyze yourself on your Hero’s Journey is building self-awareness of your “Wheel of Life.” Analyze yourself in each area including your beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, and reactions.

Notice your thoughts. Your thoughts are an integral part of who you are. In our opinion the best way is to learn and apply the “Master Key System.”

When do we need to stop and analyze ourselves on our Hero’s Journey? Basically never! When we need or want a different life or situation. At that time it is time to stop what we are doing and the time to analyze ourselves and our lives. It is when we need to look at where we are in life, where we want to go, and how we intend to get there.

Hero's Journey - Storytelling Resume - All Schools
  • [E]: To Create a Better Life Using the Hero’s Journey Stretegic Plan. Have you ever asked yourself, “What can I do to improve myself and my life?” Many people have asked themselves this question at some point in their lives as part of their personal development and to help them achieve their goals.

In writing a strategic plan, you begin by assessing your current situation or where you are in life right now. Various tools can be used to do this. One of the best tools that can be used to assess your current situation is a SWOC, an acronym for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges.

Strengths and weaknesses are considered internal factors, most of which are within your control. Opportunities and challenges are considered external factors, most of which are outside your control. Your strengths and opportunities are things you can use to help you improve yourself and your life. Your weaknesses and challenges are things you need to improve and manage.

A SWOC helps you see what is happening in your life and how you can make changes to have a better life. Doing a SWOC is very easy. Get a sheet of paper and create a 2X2 grid. This will give you four cells, which are to be labeled as Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Challenges.

Think about yourself and your life, and then under Strengths, list everything you are good at and the significant resources that you have. As you do so, remember that being a part of God and one with God is a phenomenal strength. Your knowledge, talents, and network of family and friends are also strengths.

Under Weaknesses, list your areas for improvement. We all have areas for improvement in ourselves and our lives. If you are not sure what areas you need to improve, you can ask someone who you believe will tell you the truth. Sometimes it is easier to identify areas for improvement in others than it is to identify them for ourselves. You can ask the person to help you identify your strengths as well as your areas for improvement. As you do your SWOC, focus on the major areas for improvement and those that will help you live a better life.

Under Opportunities, list the things you think you can do to improve yourself and your life, your options in life, and things you believe are possible for you. Think about new things you can do, things that can be done differently and better, and keep an open mind.

Under Challenges, list some of the major difficulties you are experiencing, the obstacles you face, and any major threat in your life. As you list your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges, also include political issues, economic factors, social issues, technology, legal issues, and environmental issues that affect you. Think also about your spirituality, health, finances, family, friends, relationships, job, career, business, personal development, love, peace, joy, how much you are truly enjoying your life, and other important aspects.

After identifying your strengths, weakness, opportunities and challenges, ask yourself the following questions:


1. How can I use my strengths to help myself, serve others, and live a better life?
2. Which of my weaknesses do I need to improve, and how can I improve them?
3. What opportunities can I explore to improve myself and my life?
4. What can I do about the challenges I face?

Doing this SWOC analysis will enable you to see various aspects of yourself and your life better. It will also help you as you work on the other parts of your strategic plan for your life.

[G]: THE 12 STEPS OF HERO’s JOURNEY FOR YOUR BETTER LIFE EXPLAINED

Years of research lead Campbell to discover several basic stages that almost every hero-quest goes through (no matter what culture the myth is a part of). 

The Hero’s Journey is a great technique for analyzing your life, your friends life, myths, legends, films, novels, short stories, plays, or even comic books. 

Step [1]: THE ORDINARY WORLD

Heroes exist in a world is considered ordinary or uneventful by those who live there. Often the heroes are considered odd by those in the ordinary world and possess some ability or characteristic that makes them feel out-of-place.

  • The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: Dorothy in Kansas
  • The Hobbit: Bilbo Baggins in Hobbiton
  • Star Wars: Luke Skywalker on Tatooine
  • The Lion King: Simba at Pride Rock

Step [2]: THE CALL TO ADVENTURE

For heroes to begin their journeys, they must be called away from the ordinary world. Fantastic quests don’t happen in everyday life. Heroes must be removed from their typical environment. Most heroes show a reluctance to leave their home, their friends, and their life to journey on a quest. But in the end they accept their destiny.


Usually there is a discovery, some event, or some danger that starts them on the heroic path. Heroes find a mystic object or discover their world is in danger. In some cases, heroes happen upon their quest by accident. Campbell puts it like this, “A blunder—the merest chance—reveals an unsuspected world.”


The new world the hero is forced into is much different than the old one. Campbell describes this new world as a “fateful region of both treasure and danger…a distant land, a forest, a kingdom underground, beneath the waves, or above the sky, a secret island, lofty mountaintop, or profound dream state…a place of strangely fluid and polymorphous beings, unimaginable torments, superhuman deeds, and impossible delight”.

This description may seem pretty vague, but think of all the various fantasy realms characters have entered throughout the years: Middle-Earth, Oz, Narnia, Wonderland. It could even be outer space, a haunted house, or the Matrix. Regardless of the details, the new world is sure to be filled with adventure.

  • The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: The tornado
  • The Hobbit: Gandalf the wizard arrives
  • Star Wars: R2D2’s cryptic message

Step [3]: REFUSAL OF THE QUEST

During the Call to Adventure heroes are given a task or quest which only they can complete. They are faced with a choice: accept the quest or deny it. Their choice might seem like a no-brainer. If they don’t accept the quest, there won’t be much of a story—or will there? Actually there are stories where heroes don’t accept their destinies. When this happens, the stage is set for disaster. There’s a reason why the powers-that-be have chosen a particular hero. A refusal of the quest only brings trouble.


King Minos, the monarch of Crete who antagonizes the Greek hero Theseus, does not do what the gods ask of him. Poseidon, Lord of the Seas, sends him a beautiful white bull. The god’s only order is that Minos must sacrifice the creature back to him. After seeing the magnificent beast, Minos decides he just can’t bring himself to do what the god asks and keeps the bull as a personal trophy.


Enraged, Poseidon vows revenge and causes Minos’ wife to burn with lust for her husband’s prized beast. The rest of this story is strictly NC-17. It results in the birth of the Minotaur, a creature half-bull, half-human, a curse to his father King Minos.
Campbell notes that heroes who refuse their quest often become characters in need of rescuing or in Minos’ case, the villain of another hero’s journey

  • Star Wars: Luke refuses the quest until he learns his aunt and uncle are dead
  • The Lion King: Simba refuses to return to Pride Rock and accept his destiny
  • Groundhog Day: Example of the negative cycle caused by refusing the call

Step [4]: ACCEPTING THE CALL: Once the adventure is accepted, the heroes advance into the next stage of their journey.

Step [5]: ENTERING THE UNKNOWN

As they embark on their journey, the heroes enter a world they have never experienced before. Very often it is filled with supernatural creatures, breathtaking sights, and the constant threat of death. Unlike the heroes’ home, this outside world has its own rules, and they quickly learns to respect these rules as their endurance, strength, and mettle are tested time and time again. After all, it is not the end of the journey which teaches, but the journey itself.

  • The Wizard of Oz: Dorothy must learn the rules of Oz
  • The Matrix: Neo must come to grips with the realities and unrealities of the Matrix

Step [6]: SUPERNATURAL AID

Supernatural doesn’t have to mean magical. There are plenty of hero stories that don’t have wizards or witches per say. Supernatural simply means “above the laws of nature.” Heroes are almost always started on their journey by a character who has mastered the laws of the outside world and come back to bestow this wisdom upon them. This supernatural character often gives them the means to complete the quest. Some of the time the gift is simply wisdom. Other times it is an object with magical powers. In every instance it is something the hero needs to succeed.

As Campbell says, “One has only to know and trust, and the ageless guardians will appear.” The job of the supernatural assistor is to give the heroes what they need to finish the quest—not finish it for them.

  • The Hobbit: Gandalf
  • Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi
  • Cinderella: Fairy Godmother

Step [7]: TALISMAN: A Special (and often magical) items that assist the heroes on their quest.

  • The Wizard of Oz: Ruby Slippers
  • The Hobbit: The Ring
  • Star Wars: Lightsaber

Step [8]: ALLIES/HELPERS

Every hero needs a helper, much like every superhero needs a sidekick. Without the assistance of their companions and helpers along the way, most heroes would fail miserably. For example, in the Greek hero story of Theseus, Minos’ daughter Ariadne, after falling hopelessly in love, helps Theseus navigate the Labyrinth. She does this by holding one end of a golden thread while Theseus works his way inward to slay the Minotaur. Without her help, Theseus would never have fulfilled his quest or found his way out of the maze once he did so.

  • Lord of the Rings: Samwise Gamgee
  • The Wizard of Oz: The Tin Woodsman, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion

Step [9]: TESTS & THE SUPREME ORDEAL

The heroes progress through a series of tests, a set of obstacles that make them stronger, preparing them for their final showdown. At long last they reach the Supreme Ordeal, the obstacle they have journeyed so far to overcome.

All the heroes’ training and toil comes into play now. The journey has hardened them, and it’s time for them to show their prowess. Once this obstacle is overcome, the tension will be relieved. The worst is passed, and the quest, while not officially over, has succeeded.

  • Star Wars: Blowing up the Death Star
  • Lord of the Rings: Mount Doom
  • The Wizard of Oz: Defeating the Wicked Witch

Step [10]: REWARD AND THE JOURNEY HOME

Typically, there is a reward given to heroes for passing the Supreme Ordeal. It could be a kingdom. It could be the hand of a beautiful princess. It could be the Holy Grail. Whatever it is, it is a reward for the heroes’ endurance and strength.

After the heroes complete the Supreme Ordeal and have the reward firmly in hand, all that is left is for them to return home. Just because the majority of the adventure has passed doesn’t mean that the return journey will be smooth sailing. There are still lesser homebound obstacles to overcome.

  • The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies
  • The Lord of the Rings: Return to Hobbiton

Step [11]: MASTER OF TWO WORLDS/ RESTORING THE WORLD

Success on the heroes’ quest is life-changing, for them and often for many others. By achieving victory, they have changed or preserved their original world. Often they return with “the exilir,” an object or personal ability that allows them to save their world.

The heroes have also grown in spirit and strength. They have proved themselves worthy for marriage, kingship, or queenship. Their mastery of the outside world qualifies them to be giants in their own.

  • Lord of the Rings: Frodo saves the Shire
  • The Wizard of Oz: Dorothy rids Oz of the Wicked Witch
Becky Stapley : The Hero's Journey: Rocky (1976)

Step 12. CONCLUSION: While Joseph Campbell’s monomyth works best with the traditional form of the quest—folk and fairy tales, myths, legends, and other fantasies—it can be applied to many different genres or types of stories. A quest does not have to include swords and monsters. It can just as easily occur in the real world and in your life. The Hero’s Journey exists anywhere and everywhere.
