and job.
Forced to take the bus to work, George meets a unique kind of bus
driver and an interesting set of characters (passengers) that over the

attempt to help him turn around his work and team and save his job
and marriage from an almost inevitable destruction.”

What Is Your Vision?
First decide what you want. Then you can start
creating it. Don't let the world create you. You
create your world.
•My vision for my life (including my health) is:
•My vision for my work, career, job and team is
•My vision for my relationship and family is
28. 28 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
You're The Driver
It seems such a simple question, doesn't it? But you
look to someone else for the answer, it's nearly
certain that their answer will be different from yours.
Only you know exactly where you are going. No one
knows the road better. No one else fully
comprehends the distance or knows the terrain as
well. No one else has studies the map as thoroughly
and completely.
“Where are you going?”
29. 29 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Where Are You Going?
Today, determine to be the driver of your
own bus.
Grab a hold of the steering wheel and

Reflection
Now share any or all of your visions with
your group members. Of course only share
what you are comfortable sharing. Note
that by sharing your vision you make it
even more powerful.
34. 34 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
More Reflection
What did you learn from hearing others
describe their visions?
Are there any changes you want to make
to the visions you wrote earlier?
Do you believe that writing down your
vision and goals helps you attain them?
Why? Why not?
35. 35 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Goals And Zoom Focus
Now think about specific attainable goals and ask
yourself what goals you would have to achieve to
make your vision a reality.
Hint: Goals should be S.M.A.R.T. Specific,
Measurable, Attainable, Results Oriented, and on a
Time Table. In addition your goals should be aligned
with your passion, vision, and values.

Focus
Rule # 2:
Desire, Vision, and Focus Move Your Bus
In The Right Direction
40. 40 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Desire, Vision, & Focus Move Your
Bus In The Right Direction
The fact that you are the driver and you're behind the
wheel is empowering.
Now you need to understand what will move it from here
to there: Proper, positive steering
Think of your thoughts and vision as the steering wheel
that will guide your bus where you want it to go. What
you think about literally determines where you end up
“The more you see it, the more likely it will happen.”
41. 41 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Desire, Vision, & Focus Move Your
Bus In The Right Direction
Let's look at Webster's definition for each of those: desire,
vision and focus
− Desire: “To wish or long for, want.”
− Vision: “The power of seeing; foresight.”
− Focus: “Adjustment of lens difference for clear
image. To concentrate.”
“The more you see it, the more likely it will happen.”
42. 42 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Desire
When you think of Desire, think of how earnest you are
about achieving the goals you've set for yourself. What
are you willing to do to make them happen? Are you
willing to step out of a comfort zone and go for the “big
ask”? Are you willing to work one extra half hour each day
or make three additional sales calls per day? Desire
helps you determine just how badly you want it.
Desire makes you hungry to see your own success.
“The more you see it, the more likely it will happen.”
43. 43 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Vision
Vision is looking ahead to that goal and breathing actual
life into it. Vision takes your one-dimensional desire and
turns it into a three dimensional fully animated motion
picture of your goal
Vision changes the painter's tool from a large, sweeping
brush to a smaller brush which paints in the fine details of
your masterpiece. Vision gives you the ability to see
yourself having already reached your goal; It is dreaming
with the full intention of achieving that dream.
“The more you see it, the more likely it will happen.”
44. 44 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Vision
Sensory engagement will help this vision become real to you.
Spend 10 minutes each day visualizing your goal.
Breathe deeply and try to engage all of your senses. For
example, if your goal is to give a winning sales presentation at
your company, imagine who would be in attendance at the
presentation.
Engaging as many senses as you can helps your goals come
to life.
“The more you see it, the more likely it will happen.”
It makes visualizing more powerful and more effective as you
imagine and create the specifics of your goal.
“The more you see it, the more likely it will happen.”
45. 45 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Focus
You've heard the saying, “if you aim at nothing you will hit it
every time.” Focus is setting your aim, and intentionally setting
your signs on the goal you've laid out for yourself.
Focus is where you block out the distractions that may hinder
you and concentrate fully on striving for the one thing you want
Focus is making a commitment to look through the windshield
of your bus at the road ahead and not be concerned with the
rear-view mirror. Spending too much time looking into the past
distracts you from what's ahead of you. So set your signs on
the road ahead and drive!
46. 46 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Action Steps
Desire, Vision, Focus are the elements that
make up your steering wheel. Grab a hold
of the steering wheel, put those elements
into practice and your bus will move exactly
where you want it to go
47. 47 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Action Steps
Identify: Which have I been lately? (circle one) A winner A
whiner
Identify: Of Desire, Vision, Focus, which is my strongest point?
_________________________________
Which is my weakest point? _____________________
How can I improve on the weakest of these? What steps will I
take to improve?
____________________________________________
48. 48 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Action Steps
What specific steps will I take to keep my thoughts focused on
my goals?
________________________________
Commit: Make a decision to spend the same amount of time
each day working on visualizing your goals. Make a
commitment. Each day, I will sit down at (time) ___________
and spend (length of time) _____________ visualizing my
goals. I will do this for ______________ days.
49. 49 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Action Steps
Assess: After the number of days you've committed to
(recommend at least 21 days) write down the successes you've
attracted as a result of that visualization. New clients? New
members of your congregation? Improvements?
_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________
Celebrate: Celebrate these successes and commit to
visualizing your goals for the rest of your life. Even as the goals
change, the visualization process does not and will will
continue to see greater success all the time.

Rule # 3
Fuel Your Ride With Positive Energy
“Desire, vision and focus help you turn your bus
in the right direction but positive energy is
necessary to take you where you want to go.”
Imagine for a moment that instead of an
Energy Bus you've been given a hot,
sleek and powerful car. Not just any car,
but a thing of beauty, a fast machine, the
car of your dreams
53. 53 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Rule # 3
Fuel Your Ride With Positive Energy
“Desire, vision and focus help you turn your bus in the right
direction but positive energy is necessary to take you
where you want to go.”
•
You drive it with energy and passion, but soon you need
fuel for your ride. As you pull up to the gas pump, you
look over the fuel choices and their grades. Which do you
choose?
•
Remember your car is a priceless car. Would you choose
anything but the best fuel for your ride? Of course not!
You'd pull up to the gas pump and choose the highest
octane; the cleanest burning fuel you could get.
54. 54 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Fuel Your Ride With Positive Energy
•
You are the fast car in this journey. Your bus doesn't have to
be a plain yellow bus, it can be the ride of your dreams!
•
The kind of fuel you choose is a key component to how your
ride plays out. Your thoughts are your fuel. Your energy is what
powers your vehicle for the journey. Why not fuel it with the
highest octane energy you can find? You've got to make a
choice to fuel up with positive energy.
55. 55 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Fuel Your Ride With Positive Energy
•
A choice? Yes, you've really got a choice.
As it says in The Energy Bus, you cannot
control the events that happen around you,
but you do have a choice in how you
respond to them.
Remember the formula E + P = O
Events + Perception = Outcome
56. 56 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Fuel Your Ride With Positive Energy
•
In our story, George began his journey with a flat tire that led to
the discovery of a brake defect. The mechanic at the service
center told George he was luck the problem hadn't led to an
accident. At first,
•
George was so preoccupied with his frustration that he didn't take
the time to be thankful he hadn't been hurt.
•
It was his perception of the event that prevented him from seeing
that his flat tire was actually a blessing and good fortune. He had
a negative perception of the flat tire, which led to the outcome of a
really rotten day.
57. 57 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Fuel Your Ride With Positive Energy
•
Another way to think of the formula, could be E + R = O. The R
could stand for response. And think of you are response –
able. You are able to choose your response, or responsible for
your response.
•
Further into the story, George beings to realize that he has the
power to change his perception or response to the events
around him, giving him totally different outcomes.
When we perceive our challenging events as
blessings in disguise, we control our reaction to
the event as well as the outcome.
58. 58 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Fuel Your Ride With Positive Energy
•
Further, when you make a choice to fuel
your ride with positive energy, choosing the
positive road instead of the negative road
becomes second nature
•
So what is positive energy? How can you
get it? Here are some examples:
59. 59 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Fuel Your Ride With Positive Energy
•
A Smile. Did you know that smiling actually increases your serotonin
levels? And you can pass it on to others! The recipients of your
smile also increase a rise in serotonin and happiness
•
A choice to turn a negative thought into a positive thought.
Negativity surrounds us each day. The media wants to pretend there
is no good news. Drama and chaos lead the news stories. You're
the one who can make the choice to turn negativity into positivity.
Your positive energy must be greater than any negativity. Your
certainty must be greater than anyone';s doubts. Your thoughts are
powerful. When old dirty fuel of negativity tries to creep in, turn it into
clean burning, high octane positive fuel and your engine will run
better every time. As Joy says, “where there is a negative, there is
always a positive." Find the positive and you'll;l find the blessings all
around you.
60. 60 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Fuel Your Ride With Positive Energy
•
Encouraging Other People. When we turn inward, it's easy
for us to put our own problems under a microscope. It's easy
to go the “poor me” route. When you turn outward and make a
choice to helpl other people, even with a simple encouraging
word, you['re not so focused on the problems plaguing you.
•
Tell someone what a great job they're doing. Tell your kids
that you are proud of them. Tell your garbage man that you
appreciate what he does every day. By encouraging others,
you lose negative focus and you begin to focus instead on all
the great things and people who surround you. By
acknowledging and encouraging others, you realize how
blessed you are.

•
Taking A Gratitude Walk. It's been said that wealth exists not
in having many possessions, but in having a few wants. A
Gratitude Walk allows us each to fully comprehend just how
rich we are. Some people call it a “Thank You Walk” some call
it a “Prayer Walk.” What you call your walk is not what matters,
what matters is that you take it.”
•
Make A Difference. There is a simple law of the universe
called Karma that says, “what you give, you will receive” and “if
you do good things for others, good things will happen to you.”
Decide what charities, programs or schools are meaningful to
you. What motivates you to take action? Decide how you
would like to get involved. Fundraiser, plan events, volunteer,
etc. When we give we help to fill a voice in someone's life and
we fill a voice in ours as well.

One Great Golf Shot Theory
•
After people play a round of golf they usually
don't think about all the bad shots they
made, but rather always remember and
focus on the one great shot they had that
day
•
The thought and feeling they get when
thinking about this shot makes them want to
play again and again. It's why people get
addicted to golf.
64. 64 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
One Great Golf Shot Theory
•
Contrast that to life - and how people often
go to bed thinking about all the things that
went wrong, when instead they should apply
the one great golf shot theory to their life and
think about the one great thing that
happened that day.
•
The one great success that will inspire them
to look forward to creating more success
tomorrow.
65. 65 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Action Steps
•
Identify: At the end of each day, think about your day.
Apply this action step to yesterday.
•
What mistakes did you make? What do you wish you
would have done differently? Now ask yourself what
you can learn from these mistakes. What will you do
differently next time? Mistakes aren't really mistakes
unless we choose not to learn from them
66. 66 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook
Action Steps
•
Identify: Again, thinking about yesterday.
•
Next think about what you did right. What were your
successes for the day? Who did you inspire? What
made your day great? What did you do that you are
proud of? End your day on a successful note and
you'll look forward to creating more success
tomorrow.
67. 67 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook

•
Assess: : How are you reacting to things around
you? Remember the Positive Energy Formula
•
E + P = O (Energy + Perception equals Outcome)
•
What does that meant to you?
•
Are you reacting the way you want to be, or do you
need to make some changes?
•
Note your own E + P = O observations.
68. 68 10 Rules For The Ride Of Your Life - Workbook

Assess: : Positive Energy doesn't always come
naturally. Sometimes you've got to work hard to stay
positive Ask a trusted friend to help you stay on the
Positive Road by gently reminding you when you find
your bus veering towards the negative one. It may be
a pleasant reminder at the time but it will help0 you
become more positive pe3rson over time.

Your accountability person must be a positive and

•
Remember, you're driving the bus, George,” Joy said. “But as you drive
you want to keep asking people to get on. The worst they can say is
no. If you don't ask they won't know to get on.”
•
Who do you want to accompany you on your bus? Who are the people
who are vital to your journey?
•
Taking the ride by yourself, while it may seem like fun at first can be
tiring and a little lonely. The solitude grows old quite quickly. The
journey is so much more thrilling, full and rich when its' shared with
others. Sometimes, such as in a workplace environment, it's a ride you
simply can not take without others getting on your bus. You may think
you have a big “s” on your chest and can do it all, but you need others
on your bus to make a product or environment work. No one creates
success in a vacuum.

•
Let's use this as an example. Perhaps you're a sales manager for a
cluster of radio stations. If you didn't have a team of people on your
bus who all functioned well in their own positions you'd be tasked with
creating advertising, products, selling, collecting, accounting, caring for
your clients managing your necessary paperwork, deciding which music
would play deciding when and how often music would play, etc.
•
It's doesn't matter how big or how small your goal or your business, you
need a cohesive and dynamic team to propel your bus to its intended
destination. Perhaps if its a personal goal you are working towards the
passengers on your bus are your family membe3rs. Whether your
passengers are your friend, your family, or your workplace team they've
got to understand and share your vision for the road ahead or you'll
continually run into potholes, roadblocks and delays at every turn.

Your Vision For The Road Ahead
•
It's vitally important that you ask the right people to get on your bus and
tell them your vision for the road ahead. But how do you convince them
to get on your bus?
•
It's rather simply: you clearly communicate and share your vision for
the road ahead.
•
In fact, Joy the bus driver talks a bout just how critical that clear
communication of vision is: “If you don't clearly communicate your
vision for the road ahead no one will want to travel with you.”

Your Vision For The Road Ahead
•
You've identified in Rule # 1 where your bus is going. You understand
form Rule # 2 that desire, vision, and focus move your bus in the right
direction. And you've learned from Rule # 3 how to fuel your ride with
positive energy. Your bus has got options; upgrades! It is moving in the
right direction and it is going to be a thrilling ride of which people will
want to be a part. So share that vision with them, convince them to
travel with you, and get them equally as excited, energized and eager
for the journey ahead.
•
The key to getting them on your bus, in addition to sharing vision is
inviting them. People want to be invited onto the bus. Inviting someone
onto the bus makes them feel important, worthy and valuable. Inviting
someone onto your b us tells them “I want you on this great journey with
me. It is important to me that you are with me. Are you in?”

•
Countless times you have heard it: “Be prepared to present your 30
second commercial so that when an opportunity presents itself, you will
be ready with your pitch. The same is true of clearly communicating
vision. You can't clearly communicate vision while fumbling ove3r
words or struggling to explain. Clear vision is best communicated in
clear, concise and confident language. When you're inviting someone
onto your bus, tell them why they should ride. Tell therm where your
bus is going and what you see ahead.
