The Most Effective Goal Achievement System
Reprogram Your Brain and Eliminate Self-Sabotage
Following on from the last message on Meta Stories, this article today takes a much deeper look at the subject of Cybernetic Transposition and Meta Stories and how to make it all work for you, to achieve what you want.
I seriously believe this message is of such profound importance, I would recommend taking 30 mins or so, finding somewhere quiet away from distractions and reading in full to the end, to properly absorb all the great information here.
The following is written by friend and mentor, Jason “Jay” Kubassek, with permission for the information to be shared freely by anyone, as long as it is not modified and the author is credited on any share.
So without further ado, let’s dive in and start changing that future!..
JAY’S CT101 PLAYBOOK
Cybernetic Transposition (CT) is a goal-setting and achievement process that aligns your conscious and unconscious mind to eliminate self-sabotage.
It reprograms your brain for success through repetition, visualisation, and emotional engagement – similar to how AI learns through reinforcement.
By repeatedly writing and visualising your goals, you create new neural pathways that make achieving those goals more likely. In case you don’t know me, and to show you the life-changing power of this method, let me share my personal results using Cybernetic Transposition.
In 2004, I went from the life of a farmer and automotive repair manager at Midas to one of the top affiliate marketers in the world. This was a fundamental transformation in my life. I grew to generate over $250,000 in commissions by the end of that year.
Read that again. From a farmer and store manager who made an average salary to generating over $250,000! I’ve written this playbook to share with you the very same method I used to achieve this.
Here are a few highlights of what I was able to accomplish in just a short time with CT:
Built Material Wealth
- I used CT to buy my first house in January 2005, which I still own today as one of my rental properties. Also, in 2005, I used CT to reach the goal of buying a new custom-ordered BMW, which was a big deal to me at the time.
Increased Personal Income
- In January 2005, I set an audacious goal to make over $100,000 in one month—and I achieved $105,712.50. I then grossed over $650,000 in top-tier direct sales commissions in 2005. This accelerated revenue growth established me as one of the top producers in the industry!
- By my 30th birthday in 2007, I had become a self-made millionaire, a goal I’d been working toward for three years.
Impacted The World
- Once I was a self-made millionaire, I shifted my focus to teaching others how to do the same and launched the world’s first self-replicating online sales funnel called Carbon Copy Pro. I set the goal to create 100 millionaires by 2012.
- I’ve built three $10M+ per year businesses and produced films that premiered at Cannes, SXSW, and Tribeca.
These accomplishments did not happen by accident. They directly resulted from implementing the CT method with extreme discipline and consistency.
My secret? I often worked on 2 to 3 goals simultaneously, with staggered timelines, keeping me focused, motivated, and moving forward.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve directed thousands of individuals to Stuart Lichtman and his book and coaching programs. When used properly individuals experience near 100% success.
I want to pass on this life-changing method to you SO THAT YOU can become the best possible version of yourself, the person you needed most in your darkest days.
If you want to learn more about Cybernetic Transposition and the proven method I’ve used for life transformation, please read on..
PREFACE: THE HUMAN EDGE
Reprogram Your Brain Using AI Principles
Imagine this: You’ve just been told that a machine can do your job better, faster, and cheaper than you ever could. It’s smarter, learns faster, and never needs to take a break. We’ve all heard the headlines—AI is coming for our jobs.
It’s easy to feel like it’s only a matter of time before algorithms and machines replace us. But here’s what most people don’t realise – we have a profound advantage over AI, and I’m going to show you how you can tap into that advantage to transform your life in ways that machines can’t even dream of.
I’ve spent the past two decades studying a process called Cybernetic Transposition (CT)—a method rooted in neuroscience and goal achievement.
What I’ve discovered is that while AI can learn and evolve, our brains have the potential to do something even more extraordinary.
We can take the same principles used to develop cutting-edge artificial intelligence and leverage them to transform our minds – reprogram ourselves for success. The key is knowing how.
AI & The Human Brain: The Learning Machines
Let’s talk for a moment about how AI works. At the core of most artificial intelligence models is something called reinforcement learning.
AI learns by doing. It makes decisions, gets feedback, and adjusts its behaviour based on that feedback—over and over again—until it optimises the outcome it achieves.
That’s why AI can master games like chess or Go, even beating the best human players. It’s all about repetition and refining its strategy.
But here’s the thing—our brains do the exact same thing. Like a machine learning model, our brains are wired to adapt and improve through repetition.
This is called neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganise itself by forming new neural pathways. The more we repeat a thought, action, or behaviour, the stronger that neural pathway becomes.
How Cybernetic Transposition Taps Into Repetition Learning
This is where Cybernetic Transposition (CT) comes in. CT is a goal-setting and achievement process developed by Stuart Lichtman, based on decades of research in neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
Lichtman’s work shows that our brains, much like machines, can be reprogrammed to achieve almost anything we desire. But there’s one key difference—the power of the emotional self. Humans are not just machines of computation.
We are beings of soul and it is the energy of the soul that powers our ability to create in the world. By tapping into emotion and your deep subconscious, you can learn in ways that AI simply can’t.
Let me explain. In reinforcement learning, AI is rewarded for making the right decisions and penalised for making the wrong ones. Over time, it learns the most efficient way to solve problems.
Now, think about this in the context of your life. You’ve set a goal—a new job, a better relationship, financial freedom—but for some reason, you can’t seem to get there. You’ve tried everything. Why aren’t you achieving your goals?
The problem lies in your brain’s subconscious programming. Like a machine, your brain is running on an outdated script—old neural pathways that have been reinforced over the years, keeping you stuck in the same old patterns, loops, failures.
Cybernetic Transposition gives you a tool to dive into the code and re-program the operating system.
Repetition and Reinforcement in Human Learning
When I first encountered Stuart Lichtman’s method back in 2003, I was managing an automotive shop. I felt stuck. By applying CT, I rewired my mind to be able to identify, access, and manage success. I created a new script for my identity.
I programmed a new self. Within a year, I transformed from an uneducated blue-collar worker with a glass ceiling of $70k a year to a world-class marketer generating hundreds of thousands.
I was speaking on stage and accepted awards as one of the world’s top affiliate marketers. I went from managing a Midas shop in Lawrence, KS to earning six figures a month.
How did I do this? By hacking into my core operating systems through repetition, reinforcement, and feedback loops, that rewired my identity for success.
It is not about needing to want it more. Desire doesn’t erase the deeply hidden patterns of self-sabotage and fear within you. You have to reprogram your unconscious self to propel you on a consistent path towards success.
Here’s how it works. CT teaches us to write out our goals—what Lichtman calls a ‘metastory’—over and over again. Not just once but a hundred times! This might sound tedious, but that’s the point.
Repetition strengthens neural pathways, and each time you write that goal down, visualise it, and feel it as if it’s already happened, your brain begins to believe that it’s real.
When your brain (and nervous system, unconscious, etc) believes something, it starts acting as though that reality has already come to pass. It creates a cognitive structure in the mind that then manifests into the material world.
Humans vs AI: The Human Edge
Now, let’s circle back to the idea of AI taking over jobs. We’ve all heard the fear-mongering headlines: ‘AI is coming for your job,’ ‘Automation will replace humans,’ and so on.
And it’s true—AI is advancing at an unprecedented rate. But what’s often overlooked is this: AI lacks the one thing that gives you an edge—your ability to leverage the power of emotion, creativity, and intuition!
Machines can not dream. They don’t feel excitement, passion, or fear. But humans can. You can. You have a rich and sometimes terrifying world within you. This is the creative power of the human soul.
This emotional element is your greatest strength. It is the fuel that allows you to reprogram your mind in ways that machines never can. When you combine emotion with repetition learning, the human brain becomes far more powerful than any AI.
This emotional drive fuels us to push forward when the odds are stacked against us. To persevere in the midst of the most dire of conditions and to transform the world through this perseverance.
Practical Guidance: Pick the Right Goal
Now, I know what you’re thinking—how do I actually apply this to my own life? What’s the practical next step? Let me walk you through the first step of this process—picking the right goal.
When we think of goals, we tend to go big, right? We dream of that massive career shift, the million-dollar business, the body transformation.
And while dreaming big is important, when it comes to rewiring your brain, you need to start with a goal that is challenging but not overwhelming.
Through all my years of practising CT I have witnessed that it is important to choose a goal that is between a 5 and a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of difficulty.
Here’s why: if your goal is too difficult, your unconscious mind—much like a machine—will resist it. It will go into defence mode, trying to protect you from failure, disappointment and discomfort and will work against you.
Believe it or not, your nervous system will initially perceive your desired goals as a threat.
Think of it this way—if you’re training an AI to beat a chess champion, you don’t start by having it play the world’s best player. You start at a level where it can win some games, build confidence, and learn.
Your brain is the same way. Start with a goal that’s ambitious but not impossible—something that stretches you but doesn’t break you. This sweet spot enables your brain to engage rather than shut down in fear.
Examples of Achievable Goals & Identity Shifts
Let me give you a couple of examples.
A 3-5 difficulty goal could be:
- Landing a new job in the next three months—something that’s within your skill set but requires you to push yourself.
- Losing 10 pounds in the next 90 days—a healthy and realistic target if you commit to daily habits.
- Doubling your monthly savings—a challenge that requires discipline but is fully within your control with the right plan.
A 5-7 difficulty goal could be:
- Landing a new job with 20% more pay in the next three months—something that’s within your skill set but requires you to push yourself.
- Losing 20 pounds in the next 90 days—a healthy and realistic target if you commit to daily habits.
- Tripling your monthly savings—a challenge that requires discipline but is fully within your control with the right plan.
- Making your first $1000 as an entrepreneur doing something you are passionate about.
- Becoming the best possible parent, husband, wife, partner, father, etc.
A 7-9 difficulty goal could be:
- Shifting your identity to become an influencer on Instagram.
- Making $10,000 in a new online business.
- Being able to afford a $10,000 investment.
- Doubling your income.
Now, here’s what you don’t want to do: don’t start with something like ‘make a million dollars by the end of the year’ if you’ve never made $100,000 in your life.
Why? Because your unconscious mind will treat that as a threat, not an opportunity. It will sabotage your efforts by overwhelming you with fear or procrastination.
The goal is to build trust with your unconscious, like training it through small wins and gradually increasing the challenge.
The Neuroscience of Rewiring the Brain
So, how exactly does this work? When you practise repetition, whether in AI or in the human brain, you’re creating connections and pathways. These pathways are like roads. The more you drive down the same road, the more familiar it becomes. Over time, it becomes easier and faster to travel.
For humans, these ‘roads’ are our habits, thoughts, and behaviours. The more we reinforce a positive thought or action, the easier it becomes for our brain to follow that path automatically.
This is why daily repetition in CT is so crucial. By repeatedly focusing on your desired goal and tying it to an emotional outcome, you’re very literally rewiring your brain to expect success.
Why Now Is the Time to Rewire Your Brain
With AI advancing at a rate we’ve never seen before, there’s a lot of fear about what’s next for humans.
But here’s the truth: While AI might be able to outperform us in specific technical or repetitive tasks, it will never have our emotional intelligence, our creativity, or our ability to adapt.
That’s our edge. And now, more than ever, we need to tap into that advantage.
The way forward is not to compete with machines on their terms but to embrace what makes us uniquely human. We need to become the masters of our own minds.
By reprogramming your brain using methods like Cybernetic Transposition, you can maintain your value to yourself, to society, and to the future of the world.
Your Call to Action
So, where do we go from here? The next time you think about your biggest goal—whether it’s financial, personal, or professional—ask yourself: how committed am I to rewiring my brain to achieve this?
Are you willing to tap into the power of Cybernetic Transposition, engage in repetition, and emotionally reinforce your future self?
I challenge you to see your brain (including your unconscious and nervous system) for what it really is: the most advanced learning machine on the planet!
More powerful than any AI, and capable of achieving things you’ve only dreamed of. But it all starts with you—and your willingness to reprogram your mind for success.
This isn’t about competing with machines. This is about rising above them so that you can successfully deploy and employ them.
It’s about leveraging your humanity—your emotion, your creativity, and your determination—so that you can create a life that no machine could ever live.
Machines can learn, but only humans can evolve with heart, with passion, and with purpose.
The future belongs to those who understand how to reprogram their minds, and I believe that each of you has that power within you. What will you do with it?
My Personal Cybernetic Transposition Story
In 2004, I went from being a farmer and automotive repair store manager at Midas to one of the top affiliate marketers in the world, generating over $250,000 in commissions by the end of that first year. That’s when I knew I had a secret weapon.
Suddenly, I was recognized as a top affiliate in the world – everybody wanted to know my secret. I simply told them it’s not magic, introduced them to Stuart Lichtman’s work and referred them to his $75 book and courses.
Only a few people believed me. However, those who did went on to achieve incredible results as well. I used CT to buy my first house a custom ordered BMW which was a big deal to me at the time.
In October 2004, I had set an audacious goal to make over $100,000 in one month—in January 2005–and I grossed $102,712.50. This momentum led to grossing over $650,000 in top-tier direct sales commissions in 2005.
I quickly established myself as one of the top producers in the world and by my 30th birthday in 2007, I became a self-made millionaire.
Once I was a self-made millionaire, I shifted my focus to helping others do the same and launched the world’s first self replicating online sales funnel. I launched Carbon Copy Pro with the goal of creating 100 millionaires by 2012.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve taught this system to hundreds of individuals with near 100% success, built three $10M+ per year businesses, produced films that premiered at Cannes, SXSW, and Tribeca.
These accomplishments did not happen by accident. They were the direct result of implementing the CT method with extreme discipline and consistency.
Now, I want to pass on this life-changing method to you.
Chapter 1: Why Traditional Goal Setting Fails
Most traditional goal-setting methods fail because they only focus on the conscious mind—the part of you that decides what you want.
Your conscious mind may set a goal, but your unconscious mind—which controls your habits, beliefs, and emotional responses—often has other ideas. This internal conflict is why most people experience self-sabotage.
Here’s an example:
You set a goal to lose weight, and you consciously commit to cutting back on sugar and carbs. But after a stressful day, you find yourself reaching for that comforting slice of pizza or extra serving of mashed potatoes.
You know better, but your unconscious mind is attached to old habits that bring comfort, even when they’re counterproductive.
This is where Cybernetic Transposition (CT) steps in. CT brings your conscious and unconscious minds into alignment so that both are working toward the same goal.
By using the CT method, you eliminate the internal conflict that causes self-sabotage, and you begin to act in a way that naturally aligns with your desired outcomes.
The Science Behind Rewiring Your Brain and Nervous System
The human brain operates through neural pathways—connections between neurons that form based on repetitive actions and thoughts.
The more you repeat a behaviour or thought, the stronger the neural pathway becomes. This is why habits are hard to break: they are literally hardwired into your brain.
To change your behaviour and achieve your goals, you need to rewire your brain by forming new neural pathways. This is where repetition comes into play.
Stuart Lichtman’s research at MIT in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) led him to study how machines learn and process information. He realised that the human brain functions similarly.
By providing the brain with repeated input (through writing, visualisation, and emotional engagement), you can reprogram it for success.
Here’s how the process works:
- Repetition: Writing your goal out repeatedly helps create new neural pathways that support your desired outcome.
- Visualisation: Engaging your senses while visualising your goal strengthens the emotional and neural connections to that outcome.
- Emotion: Emotions amplify learning. The more emotionally invested you are in the outcome, the more likely your brain is to adopt the new behaviour.
Other experts who teach similar concepts include:
- Dr. Joe Dispenza, who focuses on neuroplasticity and how to break free from old habits and rewire your brain for success.
- Carol Dweck, author of Mindset, whose research shows that a growth mindset can change your beliefs and drive success.
- Dr. Bruce Lipton, whose work on the biology of belief highlights the power of the subconscious mind in shaping outcomes.
- Tony Robbins, who uses repetition and immersion to rewire the nervous system for high performance.
Chapter 2: How to Choose the Right Goal (Target)
Choosing the right goal is one of the most important elements of the CT process. Your goal needs to have 10/10 desirability— meaning it’s something you deeply want—but must not have more than a 7/10 difficulty (to start).
It needs to feel achievable and not overwhelm you. I have found it highly effective to start with a 30-day goal that is no more than a 5/10 difficulty.
It is essential to build trust with your unconscious mind. Picking the right goal doesn’t have to be difficult. Here’s how you do it.
First – Focus on Desirability
Your goal must be something that matters deeply to you. It needs to stir a strong emotional response—something that excites you and lights a fire within you.
If the goal doesn’t evoke this emotional intensity, it’s unlikely that you’ll stay committed long enough to achieve it. It must have both high specificity and provoke a strong emotional response from you.
Example of a 10/10 Goal: “I want to generate $100,000 in revenue in the next 12 months doing work I’m passionate about.”
Example of a Weak Goal: “I want to be successful.” (This lacks specificity and emotional intensity.)
Second – Assess the Difficulty
It is imperative that your goal feels challenging but not impossible. A goal that is 7/10 in difficulty pushes you to grow, but it shouldn’t feel overwhelming or out of reach. You need to be able to see the outline of a path to success.
As you practise the CT method that outlines materialises into a clear path forward that your conscious and unconscious minds can follow. This uniting of the unconscious and conscious is essential for success.
Example of an Achievable Goal (7/10 Difficulty): “I want to increase my income by 25% in the next year by taking on more clients.” This goal should feel energising and propel you to pursue it with courage and focus.
Example of an Unrealistic Goal (10/10 Difficulty): “I want to make $1 million in six months starting from scratch.” This goal may be too extreme without the proper resources and infrastructure in place and your nervous system may activate in fear and resistance.
Advanced Goals
For more complex or extreme goals (like becoming a millionaire in a short timeframe or achieving world-class athletic performance), additional one-on-one coaching or direct mentorship from a CT expert like myself or my mentor Stuart Lichtman may be required to break through your deeper unconscious roadblocks.
Examples of Easy Goals for 30-90 Days
Here’s a list of sample goals in each of the seven areas of life that can be realistically achieved with the Cybernetic Transposition (CT) process, keeping the level of difficulty well within reach and under 7/10:
1. Physical Health
- Lose 15 pounds in the next 90 days by adopting a balanced diet and regular exercise routine.
- Run a 5K race within the next 3 months by following a gradual training program.

- Reduce screen time by 50% in the evenings over the next 30 days to improve focus and mental clarity.
3. Spiritual Health
- Dedicate 15 minutes daily to prayer, meditation, or reflection for the next 60 days to deepen your spiritual connection.
- Attend one spiritual or community service event each month for the next 6 months to enhance your spiritual practice.
- Read one spiritual book or text every month for 3 months to broaden your understanding of spirituality.
- Practise daily gratitude journaling for 5 minutes, listing 3 things you’re grateful for over the next 30 days.
4. Emotional Health
- Reduce stress and anxiety by practising breathwork or mindfulness exercises for 5-10 minutes daily for 60 days.
- Improve emotional awareness by journaling for 10 minutes each morning, identifying and processing your emotions for 30 days.
- Develop a habit of positive affirmations to build emotional resilience, repeating them daily for 60 days.
- Reduce negative self-talk by writing down 3 positive qualities about yourself every morning for 45 days.
5. Sexual Health & Relationship Health
- Strengthen intimacy with your partner by scheduling dedicated “date nights” once a week for the next 3 months.
- Improve communication skills in your relationship by practising active listening for 15 minutes daily over 30 days.
- Enhance your sexual well-being by exploring new techniques or reading one book on sexual health in the next 60 days.
- Reconnect emotionally with your partner by expressing one form of appreciation or affection daily for 30 days.
6. Financial Health
- Increase monthly income by 10% within the next 6 months by taking on a new project or side gig.
- Save an additional $1,000 over the next 90 days by cutting unnecessary expenses and creating a savings plan.
- Invest in one new income stream (e.g., stocks, real estate, or a side business) within the next 4 months.
- Pay off a specific debt (e.g., credit card or loan) within the next 6 months by setting up a structured payment plan.
Chapter 3: Overcoming Doubt, Fear, and Resistance
When you commit to a goal, fear and doubt will inevitably arise. You do not need to be concerned about this. It is a natural respones that the body generates to protect you from unnecessary risk.
This is because your nervous system is wired to maintain the status quo, even when the status quo isn’t desirable. Your brain craves comfort and safety, so any attempt to change triggers resistance at an unconscious level.
There’s also the phenomenon of the fear of success. Believe it or not, many people subconsciously fear achieving success because they worry that if they have more, others will want to take it away.
This primitive fear is buried deep within the nervous system and can cause you to sabotage your progress without realising it. Here’s how to overcome this fear and resistance.
First – Acknowledge the Fear
Recognize that fear is a natural part of the process. Meet the fear that arises in you with kindness. It’s simply your brain trying to protect you from perceived danger.
It’s doing a good job at what it’s designed for but remember, fear is not your master. It is only information. You can take back control from the fear that is dominating and directing your life.
Psychologists have identified four primary fear responses that arise when facing challenging situations. You must become familiar with these responses and not be surprised when they arise. They are:
FIGHT: the feeling of motivation to take action in spite of fear
FREEZE: the feeling of inaction, procrastination and avoidance
FLIGHT: the feeling of rejection, distraction and avoidance
FAWN: the feeling of submission and over-compliance
Second – Push Through the Discomfort
The more you lean into discomfort, the more you weaken your brain’s resistance to change. How do you lean into the discomfort? When you acknowledge the pain rather than resist it you are able to choose how you relate to it.
You regain the position of agency with your pain. Fear and pain are not your masters. They are simply sources of information about the world in which you are existing. As you reprogram your subconscious mind, you reprogram your relationship to fear and pain.
This is why the Meta Story is such a powerful tool. As you consistently write your metastory and daily visualising your goal, you build a robust subconscious mental structure.
When doubt and procrastination or any other type of blocker creeps in, it comes into interaction with this castle of strength inside you.
A fortress of resilience, agency, and power. You program your subconscious self out of a place of fear into a place of power, and this materialises in your world as action, courage, and decisiveness, all leading to achievement.
Third – Reframe Success
Everyone has the fear of success programmed into them. This is a social and biological response designed to keep you safe. When we lived in groups in the wild, having more than another person was risky.
It set you up as a “target” and could threaten your survival. You have to understand that this fear response to success is perfectly normal, and your experience of it does not mean you cannot succeed.
Simply, it reminds us of our relation to all humanity and the common fears we experience. See it as a confirmation that you are on the right path. Remind yourself that success is safe.
Say that with me: “Success is safe.” Let’s do that again out loud. Maybe you’re riding the bus, in a car, or sitting at home, but this is a little moment of courage, so let’s take it.
Ready…out loud… ”Success is safe!”. It is not only possible but inevitable if you stay consistent. It is safe for you to succeed.
Repetition and Neuroplasticity
It’s important to realise that this process is not once-and-done. Simply reading through this playbook will do very little for you. It’s like reading about pushups and expecting to get stronger.
Serious, repetitive mental exertion is required for lasting changes to occur. This is an active process with effects that manifest as you practice.
But here’s the good news. When you commit to it, the process of neuroplasticity and neuroreprogramming takes place while you sleep! This is why it is essential to build this into your daily routine.
We will become more and more proficient and effective as you exercise this new skill and build trust with yourself in the process.
To rewire your brain, the process must be repeated daily for at least 10 days (for goals 5-7/10 and longer for goals > 7/10 difficulty).
The reason is that as you work to reprogram the brain, which is like a muscle, it’s at night when you sleep that the real work of rewiring happens. This is similar to all the laws of nature–sow, cultivate, grow.
Like working out in the gym… you’re not going to get any noticeable results after going to the gym once, but after days of repetition, your body responds.
Chapter 4: Prioritising Your 10/10 Desirability Goal
One of the most significant objections people have when committing to the CT process is the excuse of time. We often believe, “I don’t have enough time.” But here’s the truth—time is never the issue.
We all have been given the same 24 hours in a day. The difference is how you prioritise that time and how you decide to invest it.
If your anchor goal is truly a 10/10 in desirability, you will find the time for it. Trust me. This doesn’t mean that you won’t have doubts and all sorts of distractions.
These are normal. We call these blockers, and they occur as anything from tiredness, fatigue, restlessness, wandering mind, irritability, and ADHD.
IMPORTANT: These blockers are 100% normal and to be expected. Simply acknowledge that your unconscious mind is resisting you from doing this work because it will initially perceive this new process as a threat.
The good news is that once you push through the initial resistance, most, if not all of these blockers will begin to disappear within the first 2-3 days as you start to create a shift in your mindset and identity.
Before long, you will be able to quickly and almost effortlessly sit down and crank out your meta story writing in 30 minutes flat without thinking twice about it.
I recommend writing it out 10 times a day over 10 days to begin. You will even start to enjoy the process after 3-4 days!
The dopamine release you will get from the accomplishment of your daily writing will take over at that point and the process will become near effortless and fun.
After a few days, you will notice ah-ha “light-bulb” moments, and this is where it really starts to get fun. Suddenly, your new identity will prompt you with the action steps that you will quickly implement.
The level of certainty that will come with these premonitions will speak for itself. Ultimately, this is the goal that you were working towards.
Strategies to Overcome the “Not Enough Time” Block:
Time Blocking: Set aside 30-45 minutes every day at the same time for your goal work. Treat this time as sacred. This can be in the morning or evening. Pick one or the other and alternate after a few days.
Be sure to block out the full 30-45 minutes so that you can complete the work in one sitting without interruption.
Eliminate Distractions: Turn off your phone, close your email, and remove anything that could pull your attention away during your dedicated time. Put on noise cancelling headphones if you have them and set a timer.
Once you get more proficient with your handwriting (and yes, you must write this out on paper), your efficiency and speed will increase.
Create a Ritual: Turn your goal work into a daily ritual. For example, write your metastory in a quiet space with your favourite pen.
This ritual creates a habit that your brain will begin to anticipate and get better and better at. There is no way around this manual part of the process.
You can also meditate before and after (highly recommended), light a candle and/or incense. These will enhance the sensory experience and kinesthetics of putting pen to paper.
There’s a ton of research and science backing this approach. (Much more than we can cover in this abbreviated playbook).
Chapter 5: What’s at Stake?
If you’re feeling unsure about whether to commit to this process, it’s time to ask yourself a critical question: What’s at stake if I don’t make these changes?
This is about more than just achieving a single goal. It’s about transforming your life and unlocking your full potential. The consequences of not committing to this process go far beyond missing out on financial gains or personal achievements.
Here’s what’s really at stake
1. Your Future Self: Where do you want to be a year from now? If you don’t take action now, you could find yourself in the exact same place—or worse—filled with regret, frustration, and dissatisfaction. If you don’t commit to reprogramming your mind and pushing past your blocks, the future you’re dreaming of will never materialise.
2. Your Family: Your success or failure impacts more than just you. The people closest to you—your spouse, children, extended family—rely on you to be the best version of yourself. If you don’t step up and commit to creating lasting change, you’re setting an example that mediocrity is acceptable.
3. Your Community: Beyond your immediate family, you have a responsibility to your broader community. Whether you’re a leader, a business owner, or an influencer in your field, others look to you for guidance and inspiration. If you stay stuck, you limit your ability to positively impact the lives of others.
4. The Ripple Effect of Staying the Same: Picture yourself a year from now, still dealing with the same frustrations, limitations, and dissatisfaction you face today. The truth is, if you don’t take action today, you’re making a choice to stay exactly where you are.
The ripple effect of not committing to change affects every area of your life—your relationships, your finances, your mental and physical health.
Now, let’s flip this and look at what’s at stake if you do commit to this process:
Personal Fulfilment: Achieving your 10/10 goal will bring a sense of purpose and deep personal satisfaction that’s hard to put into words.
By the time you achieve your first goal you will notice that your self confidence and trust in yourself will balloon exponentially. By the end of the first 10-day run you will begin to feel invincible (assuming you are correctly working the process.)
Financial Freedom: When you align your goals with a disciplined, actionable plan, financial success will follow. It’s impossible not to get results if you do this properly.
You literally can’t afford not to take this seriously.
In fact if you are reading this right now, I want you to take a moment and appreciate that what I am giving you right here in this playbook is the literal key to the life you dream of. Never forget this moment.
Improved Relationships: As you become the best version of yourself, the people around you will benefit from your leadership, positivity, and presence. This is quite honestly the most beautiful part of the process.
By becoming the person that you needed most in your darkest hour, you will begin to feel more and more inspired, motivated and empowered.
You will automatically fulfil a sense of purpose and duty deep down inside. These positive feedback loops should be well established by the end of your first 10 days.
Legacy and Inspiration: By achieving your goals, you’ll inspire others to believe in what’s possible, leaving a lasting impact on your family, friends, and community.
Take a minute right now to reflect and tell yourself that when you are ready to get consistent, lasting, life-changing results, you will master this technique.
Now that this seed is planted in your mind, trust that you will complete this workbook and give it your best effort when you are ready.
Again, it is OK, if you are just curious about it right now and not quite ready to commit, that is totally understandable.
Being sceptical has kept you safe in the past and as long as that scepticism serves you, it is healthy. But when it is preventing you from taking action, it is not healthy. It is cynicism.
Ultimately, the question is simple: Are you willing to stay stuck much longer, or are you ready to finally get the results in life you desire?
Only you can answer this.
Only you know if you’re ready to do the work.
Only you know if you want the results enough.
And unfortunately, you may not be ready at this time… And that’s ok. You now have this playbook in your possession. You may have to wait for something to go seriously wrong, experience a wake up call, or have a major life scare.
Unfortunately our brains are inherently lazy and do not like disruptive exercises like this. As human beings we are also primarily motivated by pain. And this is unfortunate.
Hopefully you trust the process and the fact that you were reading this playbook right now for a reason. Trust your timing and follow the process. You will not regret it.
Chapter 6: Transposing Past Successes to Future Goals
One of the most powerful techniques in the Cybernetic Transposition (CT) process is the ability to take an achievement from your past and transpose it into your future.
The idea is simple: you’ve already succeeded at something in your life before—whether in your career, health, relationships, or a personal goal.
What if you could take the essence of that past success, remove the aspects that held you back, and use it to achieve something even greater in the future?
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Identify a Past Success
Think back to a specific goal or achievement you’ve accomplished in the past. It could be something like landing a job, losing weight, building a business, or completing a project.
It doesn’t have to be monumental—it just needs to be something you felt proud of and worked toward.
Ask yourself:
• What was the goal?
• What actions did I take to achieve it?
• What mindset did I have during the process?
Step 2: Analyse the Success
Once you’ve identified a past success, take a moment to reflect on the process. Break it down into the elements that worked—and just as importantly, the elements that didn’t work or caused unnecessary friction.
Analyse:
• What went well during the process?
• What habits or decisions helped me succeed?
• What challenges did I face that slowed me down or caused setbacks?
Step 3: Eliminate the Weaknesses
Now that you’ve analysed your past success, it’s time to eliminate the elements that didn’t work. These could be procrastination, poor planning, lack of discipline, or even toxic influences from your environment.
Example: Let’s say you achieved a fitness goal, but you struggled with inconsistency. While you ultimately succeeded, the inconsistency caused frustration and delayed results.
For your future goal, you’ll eliminate that inconsistency by building in more structured accountability—perhaps through a daily routine or a workout buddy.
Step 4: Rewrite the Success for the Future
With the strengths of your past success intact and the weaknesses removed, rewrite this achievement as if it were happening in the future.
You’re taking the best elements of that past success and applying them to a new goal that you’re working toward.
Here’s how to do it:
1. State the future goal clearly. Make it specific, measurable, and time-bound.
2. Outline the steps you will take—using the effective actions from your past success as the foundation.
3. Mentally rehearse the success as if it’s already happened. Visualise the feelings of accomplishment, the steps you took, and the mindset you maintained.
Step 5: Use the Metastory
Finally, incorporate this rewritten success into your metastory. A metastory is a narrative you create that helps you focus on achieving your goal by reinforcing the idea that you are capable of success.
Write out the new success story at least 10 times to embed it into your subconscious.
For example:
“I have successfully built a thriving business that allows me financial freedom and creative fulfilment. Every day, I work consistently toward my goals, taking clear action steps just as I did when I launched my previous venture.
This time, I have eliminated distractions and built stronger routines to ensure my success. I can see and feel myself enjoying the fruits of this achievement, knowing I am aligned with my purpose.”
By transposing your past success, you’re using your own proven history to create a blueprint for future achievements.
This technique leverages your brain’s ability to learn through reinforcement, giving you a head start on your next big goal.
Eliminating Blockers
At this point, you may feel some resistance, doubt, or even fear. Maybe you’re thinking:
“This seems like a lot of work.”
“I’m not sure I have what it takes.”
“What if I fail?”
These thoughts are what we call blockers, and they are precisely the reason why you haven’t succeeded in consistently achieving your goals in the past.
The resistance you feel right now is the same resistance that will keep you from ever achieving your goals if you don’t confront it head-on.
Here’s the truth:
If you don’t take radical personal responsibility for your current situation, nothing will change. It’s easy to point fingers, make excuses, or convince yourself that you’re doing your best—but until you hold yourself fully accountable, you’ll remain stuck.
Blockers Are Illusions
The blockers you’re experiencing—like feeling too busy or doubting your abilities—are illusions created by your subconscious mind to keep you in your comfort zone.
These mental roadblocks are designed to maintain the status quo, even if the status quo isn’t serving you.
Here’s how to break through your blockers:
- Get Real About Where You Are: Are you truly giving your best effort, or are you holding back? Be brutally honest with yourself.
- Take Radical Responsibility: No one else is going to do this work for you. You are fully responsible for your success—or failure.
- Push Through Blockers: When you feel the urge to quit, procrastinate, or avoid the work, recognize it as a blocker. Acknowledge the discomfort, then push through it. The more you do this, the weaker the blocker becomes.
Here’s the harsh truth: the blockers you’re facing right now are the same reasons you’ll never be successful unless you push past them.
Don’t mince words with yourself. It’s time to stop making excuses and take full responsibility for your life.
Chapter 7: Writing Your First Metastory
By now, you understand the transformative power of Cybernetic Transposition and how it can rewire your brain for success. This is not about a quick fix or a shortcut to results.
This is about consistent commitment, persistence, and taking full responsibility for your life. We use the powerful tool of the metastory to anchor your subconscious mind in a state of transformation.
The 3 parts to an effective metastory
Here’s how to structure your metastory:
- Open (aka Setting): Open your metastory with a dated future statement that includes the emotions you will feel upon the accomplishment of your goal. For example: “It’s the 1st of December and I just woke up refreshed, energised and inspired! I am so happy and grateful now that..”
- Body (aka Target): Describe your end results in present tense. For example: “I have successfully followed through on my commitments and have achieved X, Y and Z)”
- Close (aka Insurance Policy): Always close your metastory with this insurance policy to ensure there are no unintended consequences: “Please make this happen in ways that are for the highest good of myself and everyone else involved. Thank you. I love you.”
Set your 10/10 (Desirability) goal: Make sure it’s something deeply meaningful and desirable, but no more than 5-7/10 in difficulty.
Write your metastory daily: Commit to writing your goal out repeatedly and visualising the outcome with emotion and clarity.
Push through resistance: Whenever doubt or fear arises, recognize it as a blocker and push past it. Establish your Daily Method of Operation: Journal, meditate, create content, and embody the successful version of yourself every day.
Day 1:
- Write your initial draft… take your time and write it out in length… it’s ok if it’s a whole page!
- Pick a goal(s) no more than 5-7 out of 10 in terms difficulty and something you know you could accomplish in 30-60 days max.
- You are going to write this out 10 times in one sitting. There is no way around doing this. Don’t lie to yourself and think that you can reprogram your neurology by writing this out once…
- As you write out your initial draft you will pair it down and simplify it. Leave out any words or phrases that don’t feel 10/10 (in desirability) or are redundant.
Day 2:
- Pick up where you left off on day two and write it out 10 times.
- Continue to refine your metastory by replacing words and rewriting lines that do not feel 10/10.
- If your goal is too big, your unconscious will reject it, in an attempt to keep you safe. Adjust and keep writing…
Day 3-10:
- By day two and three, you will start getting ideas, intuitions, presentations, and lightbulb moments…
- Be sure to start listing these action items and taking action!
- I recommend that you start with a meditation before you do your metastories and ask for guidance… Then upon the completion of your writing, be sure to take action on the steps that come up for you.
Please note: I have intentionally simplified this process so that it is easy to do and you can get started on day one. Please do not overcomplicate.
Resist the urge to be a perfectionist. These are all blockers preventing you from taking action.
It is better to get started with the mediocre metastory that you refine over 10 days, than to try to get it right before you start.
This is your path to transforming your life and achieving your most ambitious goals. Your future self is depending on you to take action right now. The question is: Are you ready to commit?
The results you want are on the other side of the work you’re willing to do.
Chapter 8: Building the Foundation for Success
You can’t achieve lasting success without a strong foundation. As you go through the CT process, you need to establish a Daily Method of Operation (DMO) that keeps you on track and helps you develop the habits necessary for transformation.
How to structure your DMO
1. Daily Journaling
Set aside 5-10 minutes every day for journaling. Use this time to reflect on your progress, identify any resistance or blockers you faced, and write down the actions you took toward your goal.
Journaling creates self-awareness and helps you course-correct when necessary.
2. Daily Meditation
Meditation is a powerful tool for calming your mind and focusing your energy. Spend at least 10 minutes in daily meditation to clear mental clutter and reinforce your goal through visualisation.
Meditation also helps you tap into your subconscious mind, where much of your resistance lies.
3. Create At Least One Piece of Content Daily
One of the most effective ways to reinforce your learning and commitment is by sharing your journey publicly.
Create one piece of content each day—a social media post, a video, or a blog post—where you document your progress. This serves two purposes:
• It holds you accountable to your audience.
• It helps inspire others and reinforces your own commitment to the process.
4. Follow the BE > DO > HAVE Principle
To achieve the results you want, you need to become the person who would naturally have those results.
Ask yourself, “What would the successful version of me be doing every day?” Then start doing those things now, even before you achieve the outcome.
For example:
If your goal is to become a highly successful entrepreneur, ask yourself, “How does a successful entrepreneur spend their time?” Start adopting that identity and those behaviours now.
If your goal is to become fit and healthy, ask, “What daily habits does a fit and healthy person have?” Begin living in alignment with that identity today.
BE > DO > HAVE means embodying the qualities of your future self now, which will drive the actions that lead to having the results you desire.
5. The importance of LEARN > DO > SHARE
The fastest way to master a new skill is by learning, then immediately doing, and finally sharing what you’ve learned with others.
This process accelerates your growth and reinforces the new neural pathways you’re creating.
Here’s how to apply this framework:
- Learn: Read, study, and gather knowledge about your goal.
- Do: Put what you’ve learned into action immediately. Don’t wait until you feel ready—just start.
- Share: Teach others what you’ve learned. This can be through social media, mentoring, or simply sharing insights with friends or colleagues. Teaching solidifies your own understanding, reinforces your learning, accelerates the rewiring process and inspires others. Start by sharing this playbook with someone that you care about.
Achieving big, life-changing goals doesn’t happen overnight. It requires consistency, focus, and small, intentional actions repeated daily.
The Daily Method of Operation (DMO) is a structured approach to creating the foundation for your success.
Think of it as the daily habits and routines that keep you on track, ensuring your progress toward bigger outcomes.
Below are some examples of daily actions you can incorporate into your DMO, categorised by key areas of life.
These actions are designed to support larger goals by improving physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, sexual/relationship, and financial health.
1. Physical Health
Maintaining good physical health ensures that you have the energy, stamina, and resilience needed to pursue your major goals.
Here are some examples of daily actions that can be part of your DMO:
- Daily Movement: Commit to at least 30 minutes of physical activity, whether it’s running, walking, yoga, or strength training.
- Hydration: Drink 8-12 glasses of filtered water to stay hydrated and maintain peak performance.
- Adequate Quality Sleep: Ensure you’re getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night to allow your body to recover and maintain energy levels.
These practices not only improve your health but also contribute to your mental clarity and focus, which are essential for achieving bigger goals.
2. Mental Health
Your mental health is critical to staying sharp, motivated, and capable of handling the challenges that arise when pursuing big goals. Daily actions that can enhance your mental health include:
- Meditation: Practise mindfulness meditation for 10 minutes each day to clear mental clutter and reduce stress.
- Reading: Dedicate 20 minutes daily to reading self-improvement books, industry publications, or articles that expand your knowledge.
- Screen Time Reduction: Set limits on evening screen time to improve mental clarity and sleep quality.
By including these mental health actions in your DMO, you ensure that you remain mentally agile and focused on your larger goals.
3. Spiritual Health
Connecting with a deeper purpose or spiritual practice can help align your actions with your values and provide a sense of inner peace. Here are some ways to incorporate spiritual health into your DMO:
- Daily Reflection: Spend 10-15 minutes in prayer, meditation, or personal reflection to connect with your higher purpose.
- Gratitude Practice: Write down three things you’re grateful for each day to shift your focus to abundance and positivity. If you were not grateful for what you already have, you will not be trusted with more. This is a simple fact of life.
- Spiritual Study: Read a chapter from a spiritual text or book daily to deepen your understanding of your spiritual beliefs.
Spiritual health strengthens your sense of purpose, which in turn fuels your motivation to reach your ambitious goals.
4. Emotional Health
Emotional resilience is vital when tackling big challenges. To maintain emotional well-being, you can incorporate these practices into your DMO:
- Journaling: Write down your thoughts and feelings for 10 minutes each day to process emotions and clear your mind.
- Positive Affirmations: Repeat affirmations that reinforce your belief in your ability to succeed and grow.
- Mindfulness: Practise being present in your daily activities (eating, working, exercising) to cultivate emotional awareness and reduce anxiety.
Strong emotional health ensures that you can handle setbacks and stay persistent in the pursuit of your goals.
5. Sexual & Relationship Health
Healthy relationships and sexual well-being play a significant role in overall happiness and balance. Here are some daily actions to support this area of your life:
- Daily Connection: Take time to connect meaningfully with your partner (or yourself if single) by expressing gratitude and affection through intimacy.
- Active Listening: Practise active listening with your partner or loved ones during conversations to build deeper emotional bonds.
- Relationship Growth: Dedicate time each week to learn new ways to enhance intimacy, communication, and commit to investing in quality time. (If you’re single, go on a solo coffee date to reward yourself for a task completed, etc)
A strong support system and healthy relationships will keep you grounded as you work toward your big goals.
6. Financial Health
Maintaining financial discipline is essential when aiming for major goals. Incorporating these daily habits can help you build the financial stability necessary for larger success:
- Track Spending & Eliminate Waste: Keep a daily log of your spending to maintain awareness of your financial habits. Money is energy. Your relationship with money is no different than your relationship with another person. Treat your money with respect and it will respect you.
- Save Regularly: Set up automatic savings transfers to consistently build your financial cushion. Follow leading authorities on the topic such as Dave Ramsey and David Bach. Susie Orman and Robert Kiosaki.
- Daily Learning: Dedicate time to reading or learning about investments, wealth-building, or financial management. Commit to learning how to save and eventually invest your precious resources. Set the intention to become a responsible steward of your family’s resources.
By managing your financial health daily, you’ll have the resources and freedom to pursue bigger, more ambitious goals with confidence.
How the DMO Supports Larger Goals
These small daily actions across various areas of your life may not seem significant on their own, but when practised consistently, they compound over time.
Each action you take as part of your DMO builds momentum and creates a solid foundation for achieving larger goals.
As you refine your DMO, you’ll find that you are better equipped to:
- Stay disciplined and focused.
- Handle setbacks and resistance.
- Align your mind and body for sustained success.
Daily Method of Operation Example
Here’s an example of how you can structure your DMO using the above practices:
Morning Routine:
- Gratitude Practice: Write down 3 things you’re grateful for (5 minutes).
- Meditation: Meditate for mental clarity and focus (10 minutes).
- Journaling: Reflect on emotions and progress toward your goals (10 minutes).
Mid-Day:
- Physical Activity: Walk, jog, or exercise for 30-60 minutes to maintain physical and mental health.
- Reading: Spend 20 minutes reading a self-improvement book or a topic related to your goals.
Evening Routine:
- Relationship Connection: Spend quality time with your partner or loved ones (30 minutes).
- Review Finances: Track your spending and review your financial goals (10 minutes).
- Mindfulness: Practise mindfulness during meals or quiet time.
By integrating these smaller actions into your daily routine, you’re creating a powerful system that keeps you on the path toward your 10/10 goals.
Remember: Consistency is the key to success. The more you commit to these daily actions, the more aligned you’ll become with the bigger outcomes you seek.
This DMO will help you stay focused, grounded, and equipped to overcome the resistance and obstacles you may face on the way to achieving your major life goals.
Daily Non-Negotiables
Like the saying, “You can’t fire a cannon from a canoe”, it is incredibly important to build a foundation that you can refine over time.
In order to do this, I recommend that you have a set of daily non-negotiables; things that you are committed to doing on a daily basis.
The following is a list of mine… You don’t have to start with this big of a list, but it’s important that you start somewhere.
- Daily prayer, visualisation and/or meditation on your goals
- Cultivate the expectation of leadership by surrounding yourself with people that are further ahead than you.
- Daily writing, journaling, and practice writing and refining your metastory.
- Inspire others by sharing your growth and progress: This might feel uncomfortable at first, but it’s an important part of the learn, do, share process of creation.
- Take decisive action with (income producing) activities inspired by your metastory.
- At least 30-60 minutes of exercise every single day where you break a sweat and at least double your heart rate.
- Daily gratitude, practice… Consider getting a gratitude journal or simply write 3 to 5 things that you were grateful for every single day and then express gratitude to at least one person.
- Random act of kindness: Do something each day for someone, knowing full well there is no way of them repaying you.
- Healthy eating: Commit to eliminating sugars and refined foods from your diet. You may also consider seriously reducing/eliminating alcohol and consuming at least 3L of water.
- Personal growth: Ask yourself daily, how can I grow and become the person I needed most in my darkest days.
- Read at least a few pages of non-fiction that edifies your soul.
Chapter 9: Recommended Resources
Here’s a curated list of recommended reading and resources to complement the Cybernetic Transposition (CT) process.
These books and resources dive deep into personal development, neuroscience, goal-setting, and the psychology of success.
1. How to Get Lots of Money for Anything Fast – Stuart Lichtman

Summary & Next Steps
No matter where you are right now, no matter how down on your luck or life you feel, I am incredibly excited for you. You are about to enter a new chapter. Remember this moment.
When my mentor gave me this book 25 years ago, I was in a place of incredible uncertainty. The title of the book that Stuart Lichtman wrote was, HOW TO GET LOTS OF MONEY FOR ANYTHING FAST and oh my gosh, was I looking to make a lot of money quickly… And did I ever!
Maybe I was just naïve enough to believe that something like this actually existed… Long story short it took me over a year…
Maybe two years, to write my first metastory and get my first win.
The Big If: If you take this process seriously, you will transform your life, but you have to have realistic expectations. Here’s what that means:
- You will not change your life overnight, there is no such a thing as a silver bullet. You and I both know this.
- You have to understand that your current life circumstances are a result of the hundreds, possibly thousands, of scripts that are running in the background of your unconscious mind 24/7/365 and the process of replacing old programming and scripting a new future takes time.
- Even if you sat down today and wrote out a metastory 100 times, nothing significant will happen. Just like if you went to the gym right now and did 100 reps of the most difficult workout, you probably wouldn’t notice anything tomorrow other than some sore muscles.
- Understanding how the brain works, how new Neuroplasticity happens, is super important… This is why I recommend that you do 100 repetitions of your first story over 10 days (vs 100 times one day. Neuroplasticity happens while you sleep and having 10 nights to integrate makes all the difference. This will get you familiar with the process and build familiarity and confidence with your unconscious
- It is completely and perfectly normal to be sceptical… However, you were only reading this because you are an open minded person. You are seeking, you are growing, and you are looking for exactly what you have found. Just remember that anything that prevents you from taking action on this method is a result of your unconscious trying to protect you from the disappointment of this not working. Simply acknowledge this and do it anyway.
- If you follow through and learn to master this technique, you will brick-by-brick, day-by-day, begin to install a new operating system into this thing called the human body/brain. This is backed by more science and research than can possibly be listed in a simple document like this. Do your own research, answer your own questions, and take full responsibility.
- Finally, try it for yourself, commit to yourself that you’re going to give this your best shot and see what happens… You will be blown away. I absolutely guarantee it. I would not be saying this with such confidence if cybernetic transposition wasn’t effective. I don’t have time to waste, and I certainly have no interest in wasting your time.
Key Points to Remember
- CT is a powerful tool for achieving goals
- Traditional goal-setting fails because it only focuses on the conscious mind.
- CT aligns your conscious and unconscious mind, eliminating self-sabotage.
- The human brain can be rewired through repetition, visualisation, and emotional engagement.
- Pick a goal with high desirability (10/10) but manageable difficulty (up to 7/10).
- Acknowledge and push through fear, doubt, and resistance.
- Time is not the issue; prioritise your 10/10 goal.
- Establish a Daily Method of Operation (DMO) with habits like journaling, meditation, content creation, and metastory writing.
- Build a strong foundation for success by incorporating healthy habits in all areas of life (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, sexual/relationship, and financial).
- Transpose past successes into future goals by identifying what worked and eliminating weaknesses.
- Take radical personal responsibility for your life and eliminate blockers.
- Remember, consistency is key!
Let’s Get Started!
Cybernetic Transposition (CT) is a goal-setting and achievement process that aligns your conscious and unconscious mind to eliminate self-sabotage.
It reprograms your brain for success through repetition, visualisation, and emotional engagement, similar to how AI learns through reinforcement.
By repeatedly writing and visualising your goals, you create new neural pathways that make achieving those goals more likely.
Glossary of Terms
1. Cybernetic Transposition (CT)
A goal achievement system developed by Stuart Lichtman that uses a combination of repetition, visualisation, and emotional engagement to align the conscious and unconscious mind.
CT helps individuals achieve their goals by rewiring the brain’s neural pathways to remove subconscious blocks and self-sabotage.
2. Conscious Mind
The part of the mind responsible for rational thinking, decision-making, and goal-setting. It’s the part of the brain that knows what you want and can make plans to achieve those goals.
However, it only accounts for a small percentage of mental processing and is often overridden by the unconscious mind.
3. Unconscious Mind
The part of the mind that stores deep-seated beliefs, habits, and emotional responses. It operates automatically and influences behaviour without conscious awareness.
Misalignment between the conscious and unconscious mind is the main cause of self-sabotage and the reason many people fail to achieve their goals.
4. Metastory
A short, vivid paragraph describing a goal as if it has already been achieved. It is a key element of the CT process, used to reprogram the unconscious mind through repetition and visualisation.
The metastory should be written and refined to include sensory details and strong emotions, making the goal feel real and attainable.
5. Neural Pathways
Connections between neurons in the brain that form as a result of repetitive thoughts and behaviours. Over time, these pathways become stronger, solidifying habits and patterns.
To achieve new goals, old neural pathways must be weakened, and new ones must be created through repetition and visualisation.
6. Self-Sabotage
Behaviours or thoughts that prevent an individual from achieving their goals. Self-sabotage is often caused by the unconscious mind resisting change or success, even when the conscious mind desires it.
This resistance can manifest as procrastination, doubt, fear, or destructive habits.
7. Blockers
Mental and emotional obstacles that prevent progress toward a goal. These blockers can include limiting beliefs, fear, doubt, procrastination, or discomfort with change.
Blockers are often rooted in the unconscious mind and are designed to keep you in your comfort zone.
8. Repetition
The act of repeatedly writing out or visualising a goal to reprogram the unconscious mind. Repetition strengthens new neural pathways and helps overcome resistance, allowing the conscious and unconscious minds to align.
In CT, repetition of the metastory is a crucial element of achieving success.
9. Visualisation
The process of mentally imagining a goal as if it has already been achieved. Visualisation engages the senses and emotions, making the goal feel real and attainable.
In CT, visualisation is used to activate the unconscious mind and reinforce the new neural pathways created by repetition.
10. Emotional Engagement
The use of strong emotions, such as excitement, joy, or satisfaction, to reinforce the desired outcome in the metastory.
Emotional engagement increases the effectiveness of visualisation and repetition by making the goal more real to the unconscious mind.
11. Neural Rewiring
The process of creating new neural pathways in the brain to replace old patterns of behaviour or thought.
In CT, neural rewiring occurs through repetition and visualisation, allowing the individual to break free from self-sabotaging behaviours and move toward their goals.
12. Fear of Success
A subconscious fear that achieving success will lead to negative consequences, such as increased responsibility, envy from others, or losing relationships.
Fear of success is a form of self-sabotage that keeps people from reaching their full potential. It stems from the nervous system’s desire to maintain comfort and safety.
13. Radical Personal Responsibility
The practice of taking complete ownership of your actions, decisions, and outcomes, without blaming external factors.
In CT, radical personal responsibility is essential for overcoming blockers and achieving lasting success.
14. Daily Method of Operation (DMO)
A structured routine that includes specific daily actions designed to support goal achievement. In CT, a DMO typically includes daily journaling, meditation, content creation, and metastory writing.
The DMO helps build the foundation necessary for success and creates momentum through consistent action.
15. BE > DO > HAVE Principle
A mindset framework that emphasises becoming the person who would naturally achieve your desired outcomes, before expecting to have those outcomes.
It focuses on identity transformation as the first step toward achieving goals. In CT, this principle encourages individuals to adopt the mindset, habits, and behaviours of their future successful self.
16. LEARN > DO > SHARE Framework
A process for mastering new skills or achieving goals. It involves:
- Learning: Acquiring new knowledge or skills.
- Doing: Implementing what you’ve learned through action.
- Sharing: Teaching others or sharing your progress, which reinforces the learning process. In CT, this framework accelerates results by keeping the individual accountable and engaged.
17. Growth Mindset
A belief, popularised by Carol Dweck, that abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort, learning, and persistence.
A growth mindset contrasts with a fixed mindset, which views abilities as static. In CT, adopting a growth mindset is critical for overcoming blockers and achieving success.
18. Neuroplasticity
The brain’s ability to reorganise itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. This ability allows the brain to adapt to new experiences, learn new behaviours, and overcome limitations.
CT leverages neuro plasticity to help individuals break free from old habits and create new ones aligned with their goals.
19. Limiting Beliefs
Deeply held beliefs, often unconscious, that limit a person’s potential. These beliefs typically stem from past experiences, societal conditioning, or negative self-talk.
