12. Detlev von Platen, CEO of
Porsche Cars North America

14. Two key lessons
14

15. #1. Know what you want
15

16. #2. Be willing to ask –
and to ask audaciously!*
* After all, the guy’s
already got lots of
Porsches – he’d
hardly miss just one.
16

17. He said…
17

18. 18

19. “When I was young I said
I wanted to grow up and
be somebody…”
19

20. “Now I know I should
have been more specific.”
20

21. #3. Make sure you are
asking for the right thing
(don’t chase what you
don’t really want and
don’t want what you
know you can’t have).
21

22. Part 2
Creating Memories
of the Future
22

23. “It’s a poor sort of
memory that only
works backward.”
- Lewis Carroll
23

24. You can remember the
future more clearly and
more accurately than you
can remember the past.
24

28. The difference
between wishful
thinking and
positive thinking…
28

29. Wishful thinking is
hoping for something and
waiting for someone else
to make it happen.
29

30. “If I won the lottery.”
30

31. Positive thinking is
expecting something and
working to make it
happen.
31

34. The Wal-Mart in Page
Arizona was a reality in
someone’s mind before the
first shovelful of dirt was
gauged out of the earth.
34

35. On a metal desk in
Bentonville, Arkansas
there was a plan, a
schedule, a blueprint,
and a budget…
35

36. That new Super Wal-Mart
was a reality in the mind
of the person sitting at
that desk long before the
people of Page saw it
spring out of the ground!
36

37. 37

38. Wear your Dream next to
your heart
38

39. Five times every morning
and two things every day.
39

40. A dream 20 years in the making
was realized yesterday

41. A Memory of the Future
creates healthy cognitive
dissonance
41

42. 42

43. Imagination is the power
we are given to visualize
a future that is somehow
different than the past.
43

44. But most of us abuse this
gift of imagination in two
ways…
44

45. Worry is imagining a
future that we do not
want to see come about
45

46. Fantasy is dreaming of a
future that we have no
intention of working to
create
46

47. 47

48. Imagination is like any
other muscle – it gets
stronger when you use it
and atrophies when you
don’t
48

49. Anxiety is the mortal
foe of imagination

50. When you are in the thrall
of anxiety (looking out
through the doom glasses)
you don’t see the world as
it is, you see it as you are.

51. Three bad things happen
when you in the thrall of
anxiety…

52. Bad Thing #1
Memory is distorted: past
successes seem small and
insignificant while past
failures seem huge and
certain to be repeated.

53. Bad Thing #2
Perception is distorted: the
dangers facing you are
blown out of proportion
while you underestimate
the resources you have.

54. Bad Thing #3
Vision is distorted: you
cannot see the possibilities
for a great outcome
because you are so fixated
on images of doom.

55. The Performance-Anxiety Curve

56. The 6-As for
creating Memories
of the Future
56

57. 1. Aspire
You gotta want it –
without ambition we
would all still be hunting
and gathering.
57

58. 2. Adumbrate
You start with a vague
image of your dream and
gradually evolve it into
detailed goals.
58

59. 3. Articulate
You need to describe
your dream in a way that
others can see it.
59

60. 4. Act
Action transforms fear
into fire; accumulation of
many small actions yields
big results.
60

61. 5. Ask
The Aladdin Factor is
asking the right question
of the right person
at the right time.
61

62. 6. Adapt
Because, as von Moltke
said, no plan survives
contact with the enemy.
62

63. Part 3
Setting and
Achieving Big
Goals
63

64. Five “power tools” that
having a Big Goal gives
you
64

65. A magnifying glass that
focuses your energy
65

66. A magnet that attracts
people and resources
66

67. A telescope that allows
you to “see” your ideal
future
67

68. A spark plug that
catalyzes action
68

69. A flywheel that maintains
your momentum through
the inevitable obstacles
and detours
69

70. When you settle for
anemic dreams and goals,
you cheat yourself – and
you cheat us by not
giving us your very best.
70

73. Part 4
Overcoming inner
obstacles and
outer setbacks
73

75. The Pyramid of Self-Belief

81. Challenge self-limiting
assumptions, and
negative self-talk
81

82. Tuesday’s Promise
I will not allow low self-esteem,
self-limiting beliefs, or the
negativity of others to prevent
me from achieving my
authentic goals and becoming
the person I am meant to be. 82

83. The Will to Fail
83

84. 84

85. Wednesday’s Promise
I will do the things I’m afraid to
do but which I know should be
done. Sometimes this will
mean asking for help to do that
which I cannot do by myself.
85

86. Part 5
Visualization and
Realization
86

87. Process visualization
is a verb
87

88. Confidence comes from
being able to see yourself
doing something
88

89. Outcome visualization
is a noun
89

90. Caveat
You really cannot “begin
with the end in mind” –
because “the end” is just
a mid-point – one of
many to come.
90

91. 91

92. Think Big
92

93. Start Small
93

94. Start Now
94

95. Stop procrastinating
95

96. Procrastination is
postponing today into
tomorrow so that you end
up always living under
the shadow of yesterday.
96

97. 97

98. The Power of the
Prototype
98

99. A simple daily exercise:
write your own horoscope
every day…
99

100. Why would you trust a total
stranger with something as
important as your horoscope?

101. Core Action Value #8 is Vision
Dream a big dream,
make it a memory of
the future, and expect
a miracle.
101

102. Every great accomplishment
was once the “impossible
dream” of a dreamer who
simply refused to quit when
things got tough.
102

103. Expect a miracle: but
don’t give the universe a
deadline!
