In the previous episode, we introduced the NLP technique called the Well-Formedness Conditions, which adds the final layer to the journey of Building our Successful Life by ensuring our goals are robust and ready to go.

The theme of this first NLP Matters podcast series is to support us in working our way through the process of really building the life we want to have, our own version of a successful life. As we work through this process layer by layer, we gain even more clarity on what it is we actually do want to have!

When we have used the first of the Five Success Principles, Knowing our Outcome, as well as the Keys to an Achievable Outcome, we get an even greater understanding on what needs to be done – the targeted actions, to achieve the outcome, and who we need to be to deliver on these actions to get the results. The next step is making sure that we believe both consciously and unconsciously that our desired outcome is totally achievable because we do not want to invest all this effort and time only to set ourselves up to fail, do we? 

This is where the Well Formedness Conditions adds so much more value. When we use it together with the Five Success Principles and Keys to an Achievable Outcome, this final check confirms that all the work we have already done planning and preparing for our success is not only possible, but even more than that it is also totally do-able.

In this episode, we take a deeper dive into the first two of these conditions – stating our goal in the positive, and having the goal self-initiated and self-maintained.
