According to Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, flow is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing, characterized by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement,  and success in the process of the activity.

Proposed by psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, the concept has been widely used. 

You will note from the detailed definition below that this state is more easily attained when you have clear goals and that you can visualise that these are attainable.

 Anatomy of Flow

The following accompanies an experience of flow:

1. Clear goals

2. Concentrating and focussing, a high degree of concentration on a limited field of attention

3. A loss of the feeling of self-consciousness, the merging of action and awareness.

4. Distorted sense of time, one's subjective experience of time is altered.

5. Direct and immediate feedback (successes and failures in the course of the activity are apparent, so that behaviour can be adjusted as needed.)

6. Balance between ability level and challenge (the activity is neither too easy nor too difficult)

7. A sense of personal control over the situation or activity.

8. The activity is intrinsically rewarding, so there is an effortlessness of action.

9. People become absorbed in their activity, and focus of awareness is narrowed down to the activity itself, action awareness merging.

We interview a goalgetter : Seeby Woodhouse

Here is my exclusive interview .Seeby appears to have had a dream run of it. He doubled the size of his company Orcon for most the years that he ran it, and then last year sold off his start-up for $24.3 million to state-owned network operator Kordia. You could be forgiven for believing that he landed with his proverbial bum in the butter. This couldn’t be further from the truth however. He tells us how it wasn’t all plain sailing, how he is overcoming his demons and how he is pushing himself to his next level to prove to himself that he is not a one-hit wonder, all while sticking to his ‘work hard , play hard’ maxim.

Featured Powerpacks

 The pleasing trend continues at www.livemygoals.com. In the spirit of creating powerful goals , many of you are doing two things:

1. Creating your private powerpack with your own personal goals that you can visit each day and visualise- stuff that you want only you to have access to. This will very soon be a source of differentiation amoungst your colleagues- your focus will pay dividends. Keep it up.

2. Many of you are also creating public powerpacks which share your philosopy about goalsetting and goalgetting. Well done and thanks!

Here are just a couple of our latest "Editors Pic " public powerpacks:

 Seeby appears to have had a dream run of it. He doubled the size of his company Orcon for most the years that he ran it, and then last year sold off his start-up for $24.3 million to state-owned network operator Kordia. You could be forgiven for believing that he landed with his proverbial bum in the butter. This couldn’t be further from the truth however. He tells us how it wasn’t all plain sailing, how he is overcoming his demons and how he is pushing himself to his next level to prove to himself that he is not a one-hit wonder, all while sticking to his ‘work hard , play hard’ maxim.

Things were running smoothly with Orcon, but the regulatory environment changed and I turned 30 and thought, what do I want to do with my life? What’s happening in the world? I had done Orcon for nine years. It’s been ten months since the Orcon transaction, and I have had six months off.

 

I used to have goals that scare me. I need to go back and expand on them. When I first started Orcon I used to dream about the biggest things I was going to take on. I keep my goals in my head. I know what they are. With Orcon, the master goal was to double the size of the company every year. Seven years out of ten we did. It shows you the power of setting goals. I came up with the name Orcon even before I knew it was going to become an internet company.

 

I knew the internet was going to be big, and I had to be in it. I didn’t really know about computers. I think the reason I succeeded is that I always viewed it as a business, not an IT thing. I wasn’t an IT geek playing around. At one stage there were 160 ISPs in New Zealand, but many were started by very technical people that just thought it was cool, and didn’t necessarily know how to sell to people or grow a customer base.

I got into a kind of flow-state where you can’t think about other, distracting things. If you are not thinking about anything in particular your mind starts to wander to all the problems in your life. When you are focused it’s difficult to be miserable. You get practiced at flow-state. It is like a muscle. I believe all truly successful people aim to get into that state. The things that do it for me are communicating with people and mulling over ideas.

 

I think flow state is one of the most enjoyable human states. It’s not happiness, necessarily, but it’s transcendent. The first few years I would sleep under my desk and do 16-hour days, but I’d be super-excited when I woke up. It would be go-go-go all day and suddenly it would be 2am and I’d think, I’d better sleep or I’ll collapse. Then I’d do it all over again. In the beginning I burned the candle both ends. I worked really long hours, but it was not a conscious decision to sacrifice anything. I had a purpose. I couldn’t have done it if I was frying burgers, for example. I mentally carried my body because I was so excited.

 

My own personal demon is that I am a one-hit wonder. My identity was wrapped up in Orcon and my success personally was tied to Orcon’s success.  We all have stuff we worry about. For six months I didn’t have a business because I was looking for the right idea. There were some real interesting moments during this period. Some good, some not so good.

 

I am an only child – so am very comfortable with my own company- but am equally able to push myself to besociable. I like to think I can see things from different (opposing) perspectives. I pride myself on being open-minded. I am getting more and more in tune with my intuition. It’s a growth thing.

 

I think I am a naturally good at visualization. You need to be able to build those pictures in your brain of where you are going. If you doubt yourself, your chances of success will be a lot lower. This is something I also focus on.

 

Hard work on its own is not something that produces results. There are plenty of brilliant scientists or people that go to university, but I’m not sure there are many university professors that turn out to be millionaires. It is not necessarily intelligence or hard work that creates success. It is something indefinable.

 

I could probably trace back the success of Orcon to a few key decisions. One decision a month that turns the company into something else, or an email you send.

 

The first year I did every single thing under the sun from the banking to customer service to technical things like setting up the service and doing the web site. I used to be a sales rep for Eriksson, selling cell phones. I cut my teeth on salesmanship and understanding the customer.

 

One of the secrets to my success is that I am a real generalist. I don’t specialise in any area. I learned to delegate quickly, and to get other people up to speed quickly. I had to rely on others to tell me how the internet worked.

 

I was eleven in 1987. The sharemarket crashed, and my parents, who were plumbers, had got in two months before because everyone had been saying how much money you could make – but the people that really made all the money knew it was going to pop and got out. I remember thinking that my parents didn’t understand what was going on.

 

I was interested so I would ask my uncles, who are lawyers, what is the definition of a company? What is a partnership? How does the law work? What’s bankruptcy? I basically became a sponge. As a simpleton I just ask all of the dumb questions over and over again.

 

There is no one thing it takes to be successful, but there’s a need for desire. My hero is Richard Branson. He has fun. I don’t understand the idea of working yourself to death. I would rather have less money and less success, and still enjoy myself. I tend to keep my work separate from my personal life. I work very hard, but once I switch off I want to play very hard. You need work to drive you.

 

I met Richard Branson when he came to New Zealand. He had an event in Auckland, and I talked my way in and went up to him and introduced myself. I knew he wouldn’t want to hear a whole lot of bull so I just asked for two minutes, and then he could get on with the rest of his life. I had the idea at the time that there was a deal in it.

 

I am not completely driven and consumed by things. It’s satisfying to see something growing, but for a lot of rich people it’s not about the money, it’s having the ability to build something and make a difference.

I’m a Libra, the scales. I’m a very balanced person. I’m ambidextrous, and I play music.

 

I will never read a romance novel because I would rather do that stuff in my own life. I enjoy reading politics, history, business and science. I don’t see much point in fiction, apart from The Lord of the Rings and the classics and science-fiction stuff. I want to read a book to learn something.

 

I have started a new company buying and selling carbon credits, and focusing on emissions reduction and sustainability. I want to do some good and be a pioneer and prove to myself that I’m not a one-hit wonder. It is a calculated risk, but it doesn’t matter much whether something is risky, just that I am passionate about it. The feeling I have about global warming and related technology is the same I had about the internet. It’s good to be back with that feeling.

 

I believe in humanity’s ability to engineer our way out of problems. We just need to focus on it. There is a huge industry around petroleum, and in the next twenty years that will shift to sustainable hydro, wind and other sources. Now that petrol is going up in price the solutions are starting to appear, and I want to be part of them.

 

If we don’t do something we are going to be screwed. Experts are saying that less than one percent of global GDP will solve the global warming problem. One percent of everyone’s salary is nothing.

 

Business is about making money and doing some good. I don’t want to have 20 houses on the side all losing money and putting a strain on civilization, just to save tax. I wonder why some businesses do that sort of thing.

 

I feel like a dummy sometimes but I know I have a really high IQ. One of my skills is to take all elements of a problem, put everything into my head, and come out with an answer. It’s like playing chess.

 

The key to success is figuring which are the right people to keep on board and which are the wrong people. A lot of my business partners have had opposing value sets or been personally difficult to work with, but they have had skills that were not my own, so it has worked.

 

It comes down to gut feel. I can read a CV, do phone interviews and spend hours thinking about whether someone is right for the job. But the impression I get in the first two minutes will be right, and only recently have I started to follow that. Staff are super-important, and I’ve always focused on hiring great people. I got to around 100 staff, but you can’t be the one good person in the company and have 99 losers.

 

I have always been right but I have not always trusted myself. I have hired some people where everything seemed to be perfect on paper, but when I first met them I thought they might be a bit a problem– they were introverted or mousy, or they complained as they walked in that they couldn’t find a car park. Those tiny little things make a difference.

 

Some of the more difficult times - I had an accountant that committed fraud, and the company nearly went under. Problems with the IRD had been hidden. That taught me never to abdicate responsibility. You might not like accounting, but you must always keep an eye on the money.

Always be willing to create new goals that excite you, once you have achieved the ones you  set  out to do.Try to surround yourself with people who complement your skills – not carbon copies of you.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy! – as the saying goes. Remember to find balance.

Be prepared and have a plan to handle positive and negative stress– even in times of major success.

Always continue your education – in whatever form that takes – even if it involves teaching yourself.

Learn to listen to your “little voice” –your intuition.

I recently conducted a virtual interview with Michael Losier. He is International Best Selling Author of The "Law Of Attraction" Book.

Here is what he had to say about how he is attracting success in his life...For those of you interested,  he returns to Auckland to talk in more depth about the Law of Attraction on 12th March. More details can be found on this link 

 http://www.thesecret.co.nz/SearchResults.asp?Cat=35

It’s now March and 80% of people have fallen off the wagon on their New Years Resolutions? Why is that do you think?
 
People have misguided motivation. Their motive is to move away from the fulfillment of a new desire. For example, a lot of people resolve to go on a diet. They then become focused on their body; how fat it is, how they don’t like it as it is, how they must work so hard to lose weight etc. People in general spend more time focused on the problem and much less time focused on the solution. So, in the end, they attract more of the problem.
 
When was the exact moment that you realised that you had something unique to give and wanted to create your legacy?
 
It was in 1996, when I was on a ferry, traveling from Vancouver, which is on the mainland of BC, to Victoria which is located on an island. I had just finished attending a seminar given by Ester and Jerry Hicks and that’s when it resonated with me. I knew I wanted to learn this subject and teach it to others—to as many people as I can.
 
What methods did you use to overcome the fear that holds many people back?
 
I enrolled other people in my life and formed success teams where we all supported each other. I knew that people have more courage for others than they do for themselves. It was reciprocal. My team was very courageous for me and I was very courageous for others.
 
What other careers have you had (before law of attraction) and what did you learn from them? How did they contribute to who you are?
 
I was a project manager for the government, which meant I got a lot of experience observing human behavior. I learned what motivated people and what turned them off. My job also required me to train others so I got exposed to doing front-of-the-room, train-the-trainer programs. That sort of exposure gave me a taste for facilitating seminars.
 
How difficult was it to transition from your last career to this one?
 
I did it in a calculated way. First I reduced my work week to 4 days. At the same time, I began coaching and training people on weekends. A while later I reduced my work week to 3 days a week. Eventually my income from training and coaching exceeded my government wage so I was able to quit that job and give all my focus to teaching and coaching Law of Attraction.
 
Name a key major obstacle that you have faced in your quest for goals? and outline how you approached it so that people can learn the strategies.
 
I haven’t had any major obstacles. Any obstacle that showed up in my life was brief. I always used Law of Attraction to attract whatever I needed to do, know or have to attract an ideal solution. I keep hearing this quote in my head. It talks about stress but you can easily apply it to obstacles.
 
"Stress is not what happens to us. It's our response TO what happens. And RESPONSE is something we can choose." Maureen Killoran
 
It’s not what happens to me— it’s how I respond to things so obstacles never get big in my life. I deal with them when they are just a minor irritant. I solve them by using Law of Attraction—by focusing on what I do want instead of what I don’t want.
 
Name 5 strategies for average people to make a big positive change in life- perhaps give up a bad habit or create a new one?
 
Eliminate the words, “Don’t, Not and NO”
 
Replace them with this question, “So, what do I want.”
 
Precede the events of your day by talking about how you want things to be (not how you don’t want it to be).
 
Observe what you don’t like briefly.
 
Observe what you do like and celebrate it.
 
Keep your vibes high when around others by not buying into their negative conversations. 
  
   
Any personal anecdotes that demonstrate how you used the power of attraction to create a positive outcome?
 
I sold a quarter of a million books as a self-publisher with an almost zero marketing budget. I did it all using Law of Attraction to attract ideal promotions, contacts, radio interviews, and book signing etc.
 
Do you have any personal routines / habits that you swear by to help you create positive outcomes?
 
Yes, I deliberately bring other Law of Attraction enthusiasts into my business and personal life: friends, suppliers, consultants, staff, etc. I do it all deliberately. 
  
Do you use affirmations personally still?

 
No, not since 1996. I use a desire statement which allows me to articulate the way I’d like it to be.
 
What is the most challenging part of your current career?
 
The most challenging part of my career is having to say no to so many offers to travel the world doing interviews and seminars. 
  
What are you passionate about apart from your career?
 
Hiking in old growth forests and we have some wonderful ones here on Vancouver Island. 
  

Tell us about the decision to self publish - the pro's and cons for you- how determined did you need to be to bring this to reality.
 
I self-published so I could have a book to refer to when I was a presenting Law of Attraction seminars. I highly recommend self- publishing to everyone interested in writing a book. You’ll make more money and you’ll have to do all the promotional stuff anyway, whether you are self published or published, so it makes more sense.
 
With all the opportunities that you are attracting into your life, how do you stay focused and choose between them?
 
I have criteria to help me make choices about what I’ll engage in. It becomes like a yard stick. I hold each choice up to this mark on the yard stick to decide whether I’ll do something or not. In short, if it feels like a match I’ll do it and if it doesn’t I won’t. 
   
What are the powerful words that you use in your every day life?
 
“I love when this happens!” (When I notice something I’ve attracted show up in my life)
 
“I’m letting Law of Attraction figure that out!” 
  
Why is the law of attraction only getting mass appeal now- when its been "out there" for quite some time? your theories?
 
Global media contributes in a huge way. More people can get connected with more like-minded people. They can find each other more quickly. Geography is no longer a limiting factor.  People have been connecting through the internet about Law of Attraction for many years now—going back to the 1990’s. So when the movie The Secret came out, it found a wide, global audience, which in turn created this mass appeal. (Note: I was asked to be in The Secret and it wasn’t a match for me at the time so I declined. And—my book was written 3 years before the movie.) 
  
What is your next 12 months going to look like?
 
Feeling good, world travel, producing my new 1 hour weekly radio show on Oprah and Friends XM satellite radio and in addition to that I’m preparing to give my brand new train-the-trainer program in June. It’s called Michael Losier’s Law of Attraction Certified Facilitator Training Program.
 
What is your advice for people who are dying to make a big positive change, but don't know where to start?
 
I would suggest that they LIVE to make a big positive change instead of “dying to make…”
 
And that they learn what they need to know to reset their vibrations so that they get positive results to replace negative stuff showing up in different areas of their lives. In other words, start deliberately applying Law of Attraction to their whole life, each and every day.
