Success Secrets to Accelerate New Posssibilities Joan Holman Presentation Graceland University event Des Moines, Iowa Joan Holman Gives Advice to Students Joan Holman's speech to Graceland University students "Incinerate Old Self-Expectations and Accelerate New Possibilities" focused on the psychological and spiritual aspects of success. She said that it is important to have humility, to be okay with being imperfect and to be able to laugh at oneself. She also stated that each person has a place in life that only they can fill. With firsthand stories from her encounters with stars such as Oprah Winfrey and entrepreneurs such as Scott Olson (who developed Rollerblades at an early age), Joan described the kind of tenacity it takes to be successful. Joan suggested that each person write out their "Definite Chief Aim" in life, and read that statement every day. She said that everyone must be willing to give something in return for what they want, and this must be included in the Definite Chief Aim statement. She read the statement that the famous martial artist Bruce Lee wrote. INSTRUCTIONS for Creating Your Definite Chief Aim Follow the format below as written by Bruce Lee and write your own Definite Chief Aim and revise it as you are inspired to do. You can revise it from time to time as you wish, but try not to be indecisive. Read the statement out loud every morning when you get up and every night right before you go to bed. Keep this private and do not share this with other people. You will be working with your subconscious mind and it is also helpful to create a Treasure Map of visual images that represent your Definite Chief Aim. You can clip images from magazines and paste them on a poster board. As you work this process, you will be inspired with things to do to help you achieve your Definite Chief Aim. You need to listen to your inner voice, your intuition, and then follow through with action. It takes time, determination, intense desire, focus and patience. My Definite Chief Aim I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest paid Oriental Super Star in the United States. In return I will give exciting performances and render the best of quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting 1970 I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.
