Forming Clear Future Expectations.

Guaranteed Success: Clear Expectations—Brilliant Execution.

Without question, your individual Factor Skills are the basis for setting realistic future Expectations. However, as
you might imagine, using those skills to create an Expectation is something of a process in and of itself. To give you
a basic understanding about how they are formed, we have included a brief explanation of the process here:

Step 1—Imagination: create a vivid mental picture of the future.

At its core, an Expectation consists of a specific Dream transformed into a clear object of desire. To be made real,
your dream must first become a vivid mental picture of what you expect and when you expect to see it. You must be
able to envision it. You must be able to describe it. Maybe not in infinite detail, but in “enough” detail so you can get
your arms around it... to believe in it... to imagine it as something truly desirable.

Step 2—Clarification: bring your picture into clear focus.

Next, you must create a clear mental picture of the various elements of your Dream. You must break it into its
individual pieces, so you can see all the parts, and what actions will be required to assemble them in the real world.

To do this, you must...

• 1. Clarify the Features of your dream—in exquisite detail.
• 2. Clarify the Benefits or Rewards to be gained while pursuing your dream.
• 3. Clarify the Costs to be paid, Barriers to be overcome or the Requirements needed
to attain the Benefits. What will it take in time, money, people and other resources?
• 4. Clarify the Activities that must be successfully performed to actually achieve your dream.

Step 3—Evaluation: can you do it?

You now have a clear mental picture—in realistic detail. Realistically then, do you have the Power to make this
picture real? No doubt, someone, somewhere, sometime can do it—but can you? What makes you so certain?

How to know if you have the Power to achieve your dream:

• 1. Evaluate the size and complexity of your Dream against your Power to produce it...
• 2. Evaluate the type and nature of the Activities you will be performing against your current Power...
• 3. Evaluate your current Power—Color by Color—considering what you expect to accomplish—in light
of everything else going on in your life...
• 4. Evaluate—Yes or No—if you have the Results producing Power within each Color to
meet or exceed ALL Expectations—including this new one.

Step 4—Determination: commit to doing it.

Finally, you must move your Dreams out of the imaginary world and put them into the physical world. This requires
you to make a Determined Choice—the choice to proceed with total commitment—or the choice to say No for now.
Without question, your determination to succeed drives your commitment to excel. And that commitment is what
guarantees you will have the Power to meet or exceed Expectations—when and where you need it.

Do these 4 Steps and you will earn

the Right to Expect—not just wish!
To help you incorporate these 4 steps into your daily routine, we have included our Expectation Planner/ Time
Horizon Work Sheets. Once you have set your Expectations, all that remains is to Execute such that you you
actually get the Results Expected.
