H.E.R.O. Discovery eMachine
The Back story
What has now become the H.E.R.O. Personal Success Discover eMachine as an idea has been in my life in various forms for over thirty years now. My interest in finding an alternative to current motivational methods came out of my personal experience in the world of self-help. An experience that I felt was left wanting.
Like a lot of people (especially those of us who are self-employed) I knew my rate of success was tied to my level of motivation and mindset. It’s a formula that is widely understood in business as well as with most individuals concerning accomplishment in their personal lives.
I became convinced of that when I surveyed all the demand (and supply) of ways people sought instruction for how to maintain their motivation when working at various things such as:
- Sales and Marketing
- Dieting
- Business building
- Physical Fitness
- Education
This is just a small sampling. I’m sure you could easily think of many more.
As my journey of study increased in depth I began to understand that the accepted standard of how people have been maintaining their motivation is usually through some form of ‘positive thinking’ technique or by using relaxation disciplines such as meditation.
Of course, early in my career, I myself invested time and money in some of these methods. I tried using reinforcement techniques and positive affirmations. It worked a little but the results weren’t spectacular and didn’t seem to last very long either. It also took a ton of mental energy to maintain any enthusiasm at all and even then it didn’t feel authentic.
As time wore on my frustration with positive-thinking based training grew and I started to question its validity all together. (Of course, I recognized a long time ago that negative thinking wasn’t the way to go either.)
I eventually realized that the problem was having to concentrate on the many ongoing challenges when I was already occupied within a task. It’s hard to hold disconnected positive thoughts when you’re trying to talk with a customer or close a sale. That kind of real life activity always took my focus away from the positive thoughts I had started with. Consequently, positive thought-generated motivation became increasingly harder if not impossible to maintain. Added to that was the possibility of failure and its associated stress and, like many before me, I soon became mired in self-doubt confusion and discouragement.
There had to be a better way.
Taking things apart
When I was a young boy growing up my father, who was a full-time medical professional was also a part time handy man. He was good with his hands and maintained a work area in the basement of our house. It had a workbench, cabinets that held various hand tools, and below that were shelves where power tools were kept. My favorites were the jug-saw and an electric drill. They were small enough for my 12 year-old hands to control and I found a lot of joy in creating projects out of wood especially if they included shapes with holes in them.
Other than putting things together I especially found satisfaction in taking things apart. Old or broken down kitchen appliances and common objects like wind-up alarm clocks became my cadavers. The object of the exercise was to find out more about how they were made and how they worked. It was fascinating fun and I spent as many hours as the supply of available things allowed. I didn’t know it at the time but what I was doing was learning through the process of reverse engineering, a process of discovery, I later learned, that has been used by major world governments and corporations to subvert the high cost of R&D in the creation of certain technologies.
Years later, when I became interested in human motivation, I wondered if each personal success I ever had that involved some struggle (most all do) could be similarly deconstructed to expose the hidden drive that caused the breakthrough I needed to reach success. To perform this kind of reverse engineering I realized I would need a new and specialized tool to get the job done…
H.E.R.O. was it.
H.E.R.O. is a acronym for “Honest Examination of Real Occurrences”. I like these terms because I feel they define what the H.E.R.O. system is all about. The system is an organized structure that is built around the idea of searching your own success history and locating the core motivation behind it. Because of the way it’s structured H.E.R.O. automatically customizes itself to be personal to each person who uses it. It is exclusively all about the person working with it. It will draw out their story of success even if they believe that they didn’t have one.
SIDEBAR: This is in stark contrast to other programs in self-development. They prefer to reference the life experiences of the high achievers of sport, business, or literature – be they active, retired, living, or dead. Great stories to be sure but I designed H.E.R.O. to do more than just entertain.
While working the H.E.R.O. session on-line from your own computer, you’ll be taken through the entire process by an especially trained live guide. Their sole function is to keep you on track during the entire process which can take several hours. This kind of personalization is not something that you’ll find find anywhere except with other programs costing thousands of dollars.
To those who ask for it H.E.R.O. is free to try.
The H.E.R.O. Difference
After my experience with using H.E.R.O. myself I discovered that there indeed comes a time within the performance of a new or difficult task where I found myself mentally drained and ready to give up. Just then, if I was lucky, a strange energy would somehow engage itself and push me through to completion every time. It might have been a burst of physical strength or just a great idea that solved a problem but, whatever it was, it caused me to achieve a particular goal that otherwise would have escaped me..
Amazingly, H.E.R.O. acted like a kind of treasure map that allowed me to recognize where this source was located within me. In time I eventually learned how to work with it so as to open the door to a steady flow of stress-easing objective motivation as if on demand right from inside of my own person.
This gave me a tremendous advantage over others who’s motivational levels rose and fell depending on the circumstances surrounding them.
But the real beauty of it was that it was easy on me. Like chewing gum and driving at the same time. No need to purposely “call it up”. Natural motivational energy would pour into and settle my mind of stressful thinking at exactly the time when I needed it. Even if my mind was already occupied in dealing with the stressful situation itself. This was something that was very different from any other form of motivation I had ever heard of.
All I had to do was look at it and there it would be. This left me free to concentrate on the task at hand. Better decisions were confidently made in far less time that ever before which made me more productive. This made the most difficult of tasks rather enjoyable and rewarding even though, given my skill level, still challenging.
I realized that, like the physical body, the thinking process is open to injury from external elements. Challenges that we take on and fail at can cause us injury. Life situations, such as a career move, can turn ugly. Relationships we thought would last forever don’t and we fall down in a heap.
All this hurts more deeply and for a longer term than say a paper cut or a gall bladder operation. That’s because the body has a system to handle it. It’s function is to automatically rebuild, repair, and – most importantly – protect itself from the same infection should it happen again.
It’s a system we all call immunity and it gets to work quickly as soon as the source of infection is noticed.
But… here’s the thing:
Our body’s immune system acts immediately and with a degree of speed. It doesn’t hold tactical meetings, wait for instructions from some distant bureaucratic power group, or be effected by “paralysis of analysis”, it just goes and does what it must do.
So, I thought, why doesn’t our human thinking have a comparable system like this as well?
The answer, I finally realized after a year or so of study, was that it must. If it didn’t we would never recover from any trauma at all. ( Of course, like physical immunity, some people are less prone to self-heal than others. )
The problem is not that we don’t recover from setbacks by ourselves, the problem is that we recover ever so slowly. The rate of recovery is the real issue.
Mindset immunity, as I now call it, is way too slow acting. Often taking years of therapy to get some result and even then it can be as tenuous as it is expensive.
So, the next thing I wondered is this: Does H.E.R.O. have an effect on the speed of mindset immunity?
It appears so.
Years of testing and reporting show this to be a fact. Speeding up the recovery time by a factor of X10, X20,X30, who knows how high.
H.E.R.O. – Here’s how it works:
Computer operating systems often have firewalls to keep back unauthorized access and anti-virus programs that protect it from malicious code. You wouldn’t knowingly disable these protection devices and then go surf the internet. That would be wreck-less and irresponsible – just asking for trouble.
Like inviting disease into your body.
Simply speaking H.E.R.O. acts as a one-time delivery system that “hooks up” your thinking, through observational attention, to the energy hidden beneath your every success. Your pre-existing mindset immunity is soon stimulated to act faster than it ever has before thereby allowing you to:
- Solve problems on the fly
- Display greater assurance in communication of all sorts
- Clearer direction and vision
- Develop a stronger mindset in much less time
H.E.R.O. is predicated on the fact that success leaves indelible footprints in the sands of your memory. Like your fingerprint these ‘footprints’ are unique to you. No one has solved a problem exactly as you have in exactly the same slice of time and space.
Note: This fact is precisely why you cannot expect to achieve success by copying the success actions of another person. Even though it worked for them does not mean it will work for you. They acted in a different slice of time and under different circumstances. That’s not to say their advice is not useful – it can be – but you have to get really good at interpreting it in your own life.
The H.E.R.O. format uses this dynamic to help you trace backwards in your memory to the sweet spot where the energy that gave you the persistence and intelligence at that particular time can be re-experienced. Through the use of spaced repetition the H.E.R.O. format self-reinforces many times within the session until a connection is made permanently. You take away a new capability that you didn’t have before you started. A capability that, if you desire it, will lead to huge changes in how you operate your life.
Like a computer’s anti-virus system this new motivational energy will automatically protect the mindset from being infected by over-negative stimulation from outside sources.
It’s like a mental vaccine: a “mindset flu shot” that secures your mindset so it never get’s offset.
