Have You Ever Stopped Long Enough To Ask Yourself This Question…
Are You Working Harder But Achieving Less?
Learn To Get Control Of Your Time,
Make A Living From Using Your Talents
& Gain The Wisdom To Understand Your Life…
… Even Though The World Looks Like It’s Falling Down Around You
Dear Friend,
It’s taken me over a decade to get this clear enough to put into words. But I finally got crystal on it and need to share it with you right now before my head explodes.
So listen up.
If you loathe the fact that you have no time to raise your kids properly because you're an 80-hour slave to a job you hate, in a field that’s light-years removed from what you spent all those years at college to get into…
… and you're still paying off the massive student loan (on top of your ridiculous mortgage).
But meanwhile, those mouth breathing high school dropouts who couldn’t spell their own names are killing it, then you might be interested in…
The Life Transformation Blueprint
Ten years ago I got sucked into a black hole job, light-years from anything to do with my dual degrees in Industrial Design and Psychology (an education that had cost a decade and a wicked fortune to get).
This wasn’t the limitless horizon of my 20’s anymore.
Three years into my marriage, 31 years of age and my wife heavily pregnant with our first child, I found myself caught between the two tectonic plates of working all the time and having nothing to show for it and…
… I hated life and hated myself as a result.
Sleepless nights, stressed out at work, chronic marriage tension, but meanwhile no fun, no fulfillment and money rushing out the door faster than it came in.
I was working all the time
but had nothing to show for it
This was the 5th job I’d lost in 5 years, but not from being a slacker. I’m a 91 in conscientiousness on the Big 5 Personality Test (the most valid psychological test of personality on the planet)…
… and in my last job (project manager in construction), I had had 3 pay rises.
I was raised to believe that if you worked hard and got good grades, you’d naturally rise to the top no matter what. Well, I worked damned hard in all of my jobs but my career was derailed and dead on arrival.
This was a complex problem and to my horror, I was blind, naked and clueless as to how to solve it.
But during this compression phase (as one of my mentors calls it) of being buried deep down and pressed hard on all sides (only way to make diamonds)…
… I stumbled upon this process that I call Bluprint Thinking.
Bluprint Thinking is about big results that come from low effort.
You see, if you grew up in any way similar to me, your natural impulse when stumped by a complex problem is to re-double your efforts, re-double your dedication and attack it head on.
Heck, our culture practically demands us to think in this way, to win at all costs, but it’s dead wrong.
The truth is that the problem cannot be solved head on, and if you approach it this way you’ll just fail and burn yourself out in the process. You’ll get crushed.
However.
The key to solving the big complex problems in your life already lies deep within you, it’s located within your powerful subconscious. All you need to do is find a way to tap into it, and that’s what Bluprint Thinking is all about.
When I looked back at how I got out of my rut, I realized that I had been practicing Bluprint Thinking all along.
Look.
If you’re smart and talented but your career doesn’t reflect it, if you’re just desperate to transform your life and you need structured help to pull it off, or if you’re thinking about quitting your job altogether to start your own business…
… then you must learn how to use Bluprint Thinking.
You might think that all you need to solve your epic problems is work harder. But the problem is that working harder and making iron-fisted resolutions sets you up for avoidance motivation.
Avoidance motivation goes like this:
You’ve decided to do this awful thing that you really don’t want to do (go to the gym, cut calories, fix up the house, work longer hours at that job you hate, just to get that promotion so you can get a tiny bit more money, which you need cuz your job sucks and money’s the only thing that makes it bearable, until when further down the road it becomes unbearable again and you need even more money)…
… but unbeknownst to you, your subconscious is now finding ways to stop you from experiencing the pain of failure.
Your brain has become so hyper-vigilant about keeping you from failure, that it sabotages all your efforts to succeed!
This is avoidance motivation.
It’s a self-defeating feedback loop that sabotages you every time, and unless you find a way to bypass it you’ll probably be eating failure and defeat for the rest of your life.
The solution is approach motivation, which is the state of mind you need to explore ideas freely, safely and thoroughly without second guessing them to death.
And here’s the hidden secret: one of these ideas will be the solution to your life-aping problems.
Avoidance Motivation
It’ll never work
Too risky to try
Too expensive
What if I fail?
Be reasonable
Get all my ducks in a row first
Just get a job
Wait for that killer product idea first
Approach Motivation
Keep tweaking it until it works
Too risky not to try
Cost of doing nothing is far greater
How will I handle sales volumes?
Demand a total paradigm shift
If it’s worth doing it’s worth doing poorly (getting started is the key)
Make work work for me
Study markets not products
The key to Bluprint Thinking is this…
You’ll solve complex problems better
if you don’t think about them directly
If you allow your subconscious to do the heavy lifting instead, you will be able to make decisions:
quicker
with more confidence
and
with greater discernment (this is key)
Sounds crazy I know, but it’s what some of the world’s leading cognitive psychologists have found out, and it makes perfect sense if you consider these scientific facts:
Your subconscious is controlled by your cerebellum (the command-control center of your mind)
Your cerebellum houses more than 50% of your entire brain’s neurons
(more mental horse power than your cerebral cortex, which just crunches everyday mundane decisions… like what brand of toilet paper to buy)When a skilled musician or athlete performs, it’s automatic (it’s often called “muscle memory”, but actually their highly enriched cerebellum is doing the work for them behind the scenes… they’re hardly thinking at all).
But don’t just take my word for it, read what one of the world’s leading psychological authorities in this field has to say…
“Complex decisions are best when the information is encoded thoroughly and consciously, and the later thought process is delegated to the unconscious. In concrete terms, when one wants to buy a new house, one should consciously acquire as much information as possible. One may consciously engage in listing the information, so that the information is processed very thoroughly.
However, the next step, the weighting and integration of the information to arrive at a judgment, should then be left to the unconscious. In short, consciousness should be used to gather information, the unconscious to work on it.
”
The world tells you everyday that you need to be more productive. But what it doesn’t tell you is that it’s the vital 20% of your efforts that yields the 80% of your results (the other 80% of your efforts are a complete waste of time).
It’s the law of the vital few versus the trivial many, and if you just continue with the mindset of doing more you’ll achieve nothing and kill yourself.
You need to be less productive but more effective.
And the best way to do that is by creating positive reinforcing feedback loops in your life.
The Indian summer monsoon system is a positive reinforcing feedback loop that follows 80/20 because in summer:
The land becomes warmer than the ocean
The warmer land attracts ocean winds
The ocean winds carry moisture, which ends up raining over the land
The rain releases latent heat from the land, which attracts stronger ocean winds carrying more moisture
The stronger moister winds create even more rain, which releases even more heat, which attracts even stronger and moister winds…
… and so on it goes in increasing orders of magnitude, until you’ve got raging monsoon storms from just a few degrees difference in temperature
Create positive reinforcing feedback loops
in your life
And this starts with changing the way you use your brain.
You see, your brain is a pattern recognition machine and it needs time and space to do its magic. When you offload the work from the front end to the back end of your brain…
… your subconscious gets busy behind the scenes defragging, connecting dots and doing 50,000 foot recon over the sprawling terrain of information in your head (your front brain just dies of exhaustion and exposure on this landscape).
More brain power from less effort.
And your subconscious never really goes to sleep.
In fact when your body sleeps your subconscious works even better (it’s a bit like how a shop keeper can only work on their business once they’ve finished working in their business, after regular office hours are over).
It’s the part of your brain responsible for giving you those powerful aha moments, which are key to solving the big complex problems that you can’t otherwise solve.
Your powerful subconscious never sleeps
Unfortunately, the problem is that you live in a world that steals all your time and doesn’t teach you how to think (it doesn’t want you to), and in order to be able to tap into your powerful subconscious you need a mental recalibration.
With all the distractions at home, at work, on TV and the internet…
… the roadblocks to your mind functioning anywhere near its true potential is piled so high that you don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of pulling it off without a full blown mental recalibration.
Look, we’re born into a mysterious universe and I can’t help but feel that the wool’s been pulled over our eyes.
There is hidden knowledge that our ancestors knew at one point in the distant past but forgot, or something bad happened in the beginning and that knowledge was lost.
And I believe we all have some of this knowledge but it’s buried deep down under layers and layers of mindless crap, which build up over time and ends up neutering your preternatural power.
So here’s the rub.
You better stop spinning your hamster wheel for a second and start drilling down into it before it’s lost forever.
Learn to use your powerful subconscious
before its potency is lost forever
Bad News
“I hate my life and want to change it” is a big complex problem and your sub-conscious can’t just take over on its own…
… it’s needs recalibration.
Good News
The best way to recalibrate your powerful subconscious and start moving towards success and lifelong fulfillment:
Is not expensive
Does not require you to spend thousands of dollars on the latest motivational course, from some hyper manic marketing guru
Does not come from taking massive action (worst advice ever)
But
Bluprint Thinking will not work if…
You love your job and are happy to spend your whole life making someone else rich
You hate your job but would rather put up with it than change things yourself
(someone else might improve things around here, one day)You don’t like reading
(you prefer TMZ and find the lives of B-list celebrities more interesting than good literature)You don’t like having personal quiet time
(you get bored quickly without something to distract or amuse you)You believe results should come quickly or it’s not worth the effort
You wear the badge of the Protestant work ethic with pride
(life is supposed to be hard, because working hard itself is a virtue, right?)You’re suspicious of new information and new ideas
(and especially people who talk about them)You would rather be told what to do and what to think
(than gain the insight and understanding to make good decisions yourself)
But if…
You know working harder is not the answer
(you’re overloaded as it is)You believe working more deliberately is the key
(you just need to learn how)You’re not doing what you studied, for so long at college, to do
You’ve got lost in the hustle and have allowed your dreams to fall by the wayside
You have a high IQ but the results of your life don’t match
(and you’re secretly embarrassed)You are not doing what you’re naturally gifted in
You feel guilty for failing to make something out of your parents’ investment in your education
You feel like you’re wasting your talents
(and time)You know that you can solve any problem as long as you put your mind to it
(you’ve done it many times before, just haven’t cracked the big one yet)You want a highly effective solution that doesn’t cost the earth
(and low-effort back burner work is all your busy schedule can allow right now)You’re not afraid to do the hard work of thinking
(you love thinking, and you know that insight and understanding is the key to everything)You do believe that little hinges swing big doors
You’ve heard the still small voice of wisdom once before, and want and need to hear it again.

This unique offer isn’t available anywhere else on the planet. And if you think it all sounds a little far fetched, I can prove to you from my own life that it isn’t.
You see, it all started when I got fired (again) from my last job as a project manager in construction. To help me get clarity and just manage the stress of having zero income, I’d often stroll down to my local cafe with my blue paper pad to think and sketch out ideas.
Pen, paper and coffee… what a therapy.
Other people would tell me I needed to hit the streets looking for a job but I knew that to really stop moving sideways and find my true direction (this was the 5th job loss in 5 years)…
… going back to working for the man just wasn’t gonna cut it.
Getting “somejob” is a band-aid fix, you’re just kicking the can down the road.
My career, heck my whole life, needed quadruple heart bypass surgery and a total face reconstruction.
Well, I hung out my shingle on 22 February 2012 and never looked back.
And as it turned out, those little trips to the cafe with my blue paper pad really did something because I went from unemployed project manager (5th job loss in 5 years), to becoming a university lecturer, an industrial titanium 3D printing designer and eventually a defence consultant earning $1000 a day.
I became a lone wolf top-gun go-to-guy on an escapade of technical variety, professional stimulation and money that I could only have ever dreamed of.
Here’s the reference I got from my very first defence contract…
But it wasn’t really the professional stimulation nor the money that set me free, it was the tons of freedom I got to spin up bucket list projects on the side…
… that’s where the real juice is.
Jobs come and go, but your natural talents are hard-wired into the very reason for your existence…
… they’re directly linked to the higher purpose of your life.
And if you remain as what Michael Gerber calls the technician (busy, busy, busy… doing it, doing it, doing it), you’ll become obsolete and it’ll happen sooner than you think.
Newsflash: your mad skills are on the diminishing returns curve and you gotta phase shift up into a higher level if you’re gonna survive.
Who you are right now, no matter how impressive you may be, will not get you there.
You must become a higher being, period.
And the beauty of Bluprint Thinking is that it doesn’t matter what field you’re in nor what interests and passions you may have…
… once it unlocks your powerful subconscious, your real interests and passions will begin turning into your main occupation, your calling, the way a moth turns into a butterfly (once the conditions are right, it just happens).

But I do.
