A while back I stepped up to the scales in my bathroom.
They are not electronic. I don't like the zero point accuracy. I don't believe it helps anyone when they trying to drop some fat.
These scales are a classic design that looks very attractive in silver and gray. It has to be good looking, since I'm staring at it every week.
But this day I got an unpleasant surprise.
Whoa! I had gained 2kg... that's about 4 1/2 pounds.
Now, as some of you will know, I've lost a mountain of weight with my own program, the Banned Food Diet.
But in previous weeks I had relaxed a bit. Gone a bit stir crazy.
A biscuit here, two biscuits there... a few helpings of cake. And before I knew it...
Bang! - the equivalent of four packets of butter were hanging around my waist.
And it showed. There was only one thing to do.
The reputation of my product was at stake!
I jumped back on the program.
And nearly 7 days later... success! - I had lost it all again. I planned, and I persisted. It felt real good.
There is a parallel process in winning the lottery. Because you need 2 strategies in place in order to get anything back from your entry fee.
The first strategy is persistence.
The second is a plan.
Notice I haven't said anything about luck. I'll tell you why in a minute...
Persistence is easier when you have a goal. You might be aiming for a simple $1 million. Or you might be a bit more ambitious and go for $27 million - like our almost-winner in the testimonial in
this post at The Lotto Life blog.
It's pretty easy to imagine how you could spend it, and for many of us that's a driving force.
But by far the most effective method is to work to a plan. That's what I did when I followed my Banned Food Diet.
It told me what to do, day by day, and I followed blindly.
That's what you need to do when you play any lottery game... whether it's the lofty heights of a giant multimillion Powerball jackpot, for a simple $100,000 at your local or state level.
So what about luck? Well, it does play a part, but it's really so small that the benefits of luck can be overcome by persisting with a plan.
That's how I'm able to get up to 98% winning accuracy.
