Rule # 2Desire, 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.”

Rule # 3Fuel 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

• E + P = O• Events + Positive Energy = Outcome

• You have a choice of fuel: Positive energy is high octane and negative energy is power draining

• 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?

• It's simply: you clearly communicate and share your vision for the road ahead.

• In fact, Joy the bus driver talks about 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.”

Rule # 5Don’t waste your energy on those who

don’t get on your bus.

• Negativity kills productivity, companies and people. • Negative energy drains you & often sabotages your desires,

vision & goals• Don’t worry about those who don’t get on your bus, don’t

waste energy on them• The more energy you waste on people who did not get on

your bus, the less energy you have for the people who did get on

• Everyone makes their own choices, so let them make their own choice.

ALLOWED on your bus.

• Negative people who drain your energy & suck the life out of your vision are Vampires. Period!

• Your job, as the driver, is to eliminate any negativity on your bus

• You have to be strong enough to tell people that you will not allow any negativity on your bus

• Allow current VAMPIRES one conversation to change then let them depart the bus
