How are you Mr. Wonderful Michael? These exercises are truly amazing and very powerful! I was able to focus on the smallest of activities that make up the majoirty of ones moments. It allowed me to focus within. It was a gift to me! I also felt that I was able to capture the Divine within. Thank you so very much..."

"Oh my God, MIchael - you're a total genious! I've been using my trophy journal and giving myself trophies left and right. It's been just a little over a week and I've been having more energy and have been so much more naturally enthralled with my life that I don't want to go to sleep - and then can't wait to wake up! The only other time in my life when I remember feeling this good is when I was just learning to dance - and I went from basic steps to pro in just four months. In fact, the reasons I got into the self-help field in the first place were: 1) to get back the feeling I had when I first learned to dance, 2) to spread that feeling to all other areas of my life, 3) to find out what the hell happened in those 4 months and hopefully re-create it. It's been nine years -and while certain techniques and ideas helped for brief periods of time, they all paled in relation to what I felt during that 4 month period. Now, I can honestly say that my daily experience using "The Trophy Effect" is making my dance experience pale in comparison! Having done the exercises together, my wife's experience is pretty much the same, as she is happier and more passionate than I can remember!! Thank you Michael, forever! Cheers & trophies to you!!"

"MIchael: I found even the first exercise to be incredibly exhilarating. I sat for well over an hour in the first session to get the "trophies" identified and they came fast and furious. I got about 125 right off the bat and then finished up to 200 in the next couple of days.
What's been so much fun is to recognize that some of those suckers are HUGE - brilliant - bearing numbers WAY beyond 10. My trophy room has expanded immeasuably since we were on the phone together, and it is getting more trophies daily. I'm realizing LOTS of victories in my life, and, like I told you on the phone, many of them have to do with my children, and reinforce what a GOOD mother I am, not the bad one I felt like last week.
Whenever I'm "struggling", I simply step into that trophy room, take a good look around, stop long enough to really bask in the glorious sight in there - and then I go back to my daily activities. One of the things that it so powerful for me is that I'm very visual so walking into that good trophy room is quite a fulfilling experience - to see bright lights glimmering off those gorgeous trophies - to see rays of brilliance playing off of them! WOW! And I leave that room energized and ready for more success every time I enter it - and that's now several times a day.
I LOVE this process and am SO grateful to have learned from you. I know that this is a journey, NOT a destination, and I'm SO looking forward to the continuing saga. I feel on a more continuous basis that, like you said, I am a MAGNIFICENT CREATURE!

"Michael: It's been a few weeks since The Trophy Effect and I want you to know that I’m a lot happier and grateful for the simple things that make me happy. I’m smiling more, dancing, laughing more, not stressing, and enjoying being me (even the mundane moments, which now seem fun). I’m also present to the belief that everything works out for me and, as a result, more things are working out for me. I have realized that I truly am a wonderful and caring person. I now feel successful and realize that I am very very very intelligent - and I can compete with the best of the best in the world!! I now see that I already have a researchers mindset and am damn good at it! I also see how my mind works through self-fulfilling prophecy's so I'm not allowing my mind to give me bad trophies when I don't perform optimally. Instead, my "Self" points out what prevented me from doing so and I remain confident that I am intelligent and have a researchers mindset! On top of this, I'm noticing a lot of special moments in my life that are worth recording and revisiting. All is good!

"Michael; what a day it's been so far! I woke up naturally at 7:30 this morning and took care of a bunch of to-do items - from getting my taxes done, to cancelling my old phone lines, to ending up in my studio creating exceptional music! This entire day has been a trophy extra-vaganza! Giving myself trophies for every little act of greatness! ...Lastly, I notated 20 more good trophies last night into my journal and am feeling extremely blesssed to be living the life that I have. Thanks for your continued support and mentorship Michael, you truly are amazing! (one good trophy for you, and one for me)...
---Henry N.; Entrepreneur, Musician
"Michael; I have looked back on my life and now see it in a positive light. I have forgiven (my husband) for all the awful things I feel he said to me. It is not about me. It's about him - and his passive / agressive personality. I love him and always will. I am now noticing the everyday miracles and will continue to journal them... I was trying to go to sleep last night when all of a sudden this came to me: "Have no fear, take my hand, for we shall walk together." I got up right away and wrote it down - nothing like that has ever happened to me before. It gave me goosebumps - the good kind. I LOVE your book. It is so beautiful and so TRUE... Thank you for writing it. I love you."
---P. C.; Office Admin, Wife, Mother
"Hi Michael; The session with you was simply amazing! It has been very eye opening to see which trophies have been kept and very liberating to dump the bad ones!!! I also find it quite interesting to see which one of the bad ones seem to be the hardest to let go of. I wish it was an over-night dumping of them, but realistically it is a process and everyday I am finding the positive things to give myself trophies for.
...The first few days after the call I found myself feeling almost like their was an alien in my body. It was very surreal! I didn't see myself as a failure, yet something inside me kept telling me that there were certain areas of my life that I had "failed miserably" in, so I held those trophies up like I had won a prize and it prevented me from moving forward in areas of my life. After the call, I am happy to report that I seem to be getting the upper hand! Truly though, it was like an alien in my head that I have to work to get rid of. Again, very surreal, and so cool to recognize it. It certainly looses its power over you when you recognize it for what it is and don't reward it with trophies!"
---Leanna J. Business Analyst
"Hey Michael, just wanted to give you an update on how things are going since learning about The Trophy Effect last week. First of all, it's an amazing, life-changing method- yet you already knew that -but it really is amazing! Just having this awareness has helped me so much, as I'm acutally able to see my mind attempting to take situations and use them (as proof of something "bad"), yet now I'm able to let all of that dissapear! - - What's really interesting is that it has actually changed my personality -well, I can't say "changed", but i think it brought my natural personality out. I find myself talking with people more freely, connecting faster, feeling more calm, and actually looking for opportunities to (do good things). I find myself less fearful and actually find myself speaking up more often! - - Overall, this new awareness is great - and is really helping me - and to think I'm just getting started! Anyway, I'm really having a blast with this concept - so thanks for sharing it with me! Best wishes..."

"Michael: I must say, your little "trophy excercise" has proven immensely profound for me. Besides my own revelation, which I doodled in my journal during the process, I realized this past weekend that i have been doing precisely what you said; giving myself trophies (all the time)! In any case, there's no way I can thank you enough for this exercise - and can't tell you enough how enlightening it was. In fact, it may just be the most profound epiphany I've ever had!"
---Carole H., Executive Assistant
"Dear Michael, I cannot tell you the profound difference in my life since (incorporating) the art of forgiveness and seeing the "positive" in my "bad "trophies and then labeling them as "good" trophies. I have gone to the gym and engaged in a full blown workout - - - and didn't feel any insecurities when I looked in the mirror, even though the muffin top was staring back at me.... Every time I think about how I'm going to handle something, I think about my reaction and (am consciously) turning it around to a postiive approach. Facscinating! I terminated an employee yesterday and actually handled it so well - - - I amazed myself - and even empowered the team when telling them they may have to help cover hours to take care of our customers - - - I truly believe I solidified our culture - - - so thanks for helping me see the "positive" approach..."
---Kimberly A., Salon Owner
"Dear Michael; Wow! What a day... I thought it important to share the fast and incred- ible transformation occuring. I wrote about 20+ trophies in my journal last night; does getting up to get the kids ready and making them sandwiches count? I definately included them. Today... I felt this shift/transformation occurring - and did not even let one extra pound on my scale bother me. I am loving the person I am becoming... like the treasure chest open - blooming... Please under-stand my commitment and how I (intend) to master this - for I no longer wish to be a victim of my mind.
---Carina B.; Author (and mother)
"Michael; still flying high after (experiencing The Trophy Effect). Thank you!!! It's funny, because I'm use to waking up cranky in the morning (almost my identity; I know, sweet little me, a brat in the morning) - but I've had a breakthrough! I see that I've been crankly because I've been giving myself ALOT of bad trophies!!! Now, I've changed that and for the first time in years I'm waking up happy! It's a miracle! This is truly a special process..."
---Mandy P.; Life Coach, Author
"Hey Michael; Thanks again for the great session yesterday. I talked with my girlfriend about the Trophy Effect for about 30 minutes afterward and she was totally into it - even though I botched it quite a bit for a fiirst try. But all is good... it's genious man!!"
---Darryl P., Web Optimization Specialist
"Michael; I have actually been using your Trophy Effect and it's done wonders for me! It took a while to remember to acknowledge the smaller things as well as the larger ones, yet now I've got it - and it's amazing! Thank you with all my heart!"
---Ronellee L.L., Realtor
"Miichael; I love - L-O-V-E your first chapters of The Trophy Effect. I read them quickly once and they made sense - but in re-reading them today, it is making so much sense it's scary! I won't bore you with the laundry list of how my entire life has been lived in the mode of my mind jumping at anything that might be proof of my low value as a human (especially if it's someone I love), but needless to say, everything you're saying is hitting the target. Best wishes -"
---Jeff G.; Marketeer, Entrepreneur
"Michael; to all those in your personal journey that allowed you to become who you are, and allowed me to attract you, I issue one huge, ever-expanding trophy! Now, to tell you what you've likely heard a thousand times... this work of yours is profoundly transformative. From one who has tried it all and unwittingly ended up in trophy cases that did not serve me, I am deeply, deeply grateful!
---Jeff L.; Real Estate Investor
"The Trophy Effect rocks! This is the ultimate self-help tool and the best exercise I've ever seen - and I've seen them all! Thank you Michael, for making this simple, yet amazingly powerful process available to all those who are controlled by their (mostly unconscious) fears. Nothing can stop me now- I'm on fire! It's an absolutely brilliant approach - and I sincerely hope that millions of people will read your book, do the simple and fun exercises, and trasnsform their lives forever!"
