You are about to discover something truly amazing about yourself!

Hi, thanks for visiting.  This is a 37 Day Interactive Workshop that is experience based.  You will not simply be reading.  Words are great to inspire, but they aren’t enough to truly make a change in your life.  Real change comes only from life experience.  This 37 day Makeover offers 37 Action Steps which each offer life experience.  Even if just one of these activities hits a note with you, it is enough to make a permanent positive change in you.  Just one of these lessons can be worth the price of admission!

You won’t just read this program,

you will live it!

My Story:  I have been on a journey from success to significance for 12 years now.  It started when I was in full-time anesthesiology practice and running a pain clinic helping people with drugs and injections.  I noticed that after years they were coming back with the same problem or with other problems, and I realized that I really wasn’t helping them in any long-term way.

This opened my eyes to the fact that there was more to health, something greater, something inside!  I really desired to help people in a more significant way.

At the same time that I realized that my career was not fully satisfying, I also realized that my marriage and my parenting ability were not all that they could be.  The deeper I looked, the  more I realized every aspect of my life needed improving.  Basically, I needed a whole life makeover.  I had money, a marriage, great kids, a beautiful home, nice cars, nice clothes; but I was really craving so much more. I wanted more than “success,” I wanted significance!   I wanted more happiness, more joy, more satisfaction, more significance.  I wanted an expanded life.  Through my reading I realized it was all possible, so I set out on a quest to achieve it.

My overnight success took 12 years, you can shorten yours to 37 days!

Through massive reading, experimenting with alternate careers on the side of medicine, going to tons of conferences on self-improvement, and listening to audio books and lectures with every spare minute, I dug into the journey.  I learned from so many great masters.  During the process I had some very challenging times with my three kids, especially in the teen years.  I ended my marriage, and I saw my income suffer and my net worth drop to nothing, and I stepped away from traditional medicine after 19 years in practice.   Despite the apparent “costs,” I kept on the path of self-development because I firmly believed “maximum life” was possible.

Redefine Your Mission!

I learned I needed a written plan, so I started writing my life mission statement.  Then I rewrote it and rewrote it, over months and years, until it was finally laser sharp and focused.  I came to KNOW where I was going.  So I just kept going.  I had traveled many paths, some helped me define more clearly what I wanted, and some helped to clarify what I did not want.  All the while the joy and happiness inside me was building and building.  I realized that it was the experiences, not the reading, that transformed my thoughts, and my life.

It is not words, but life experience that will be your greatest teacher!

I created an expanded life for myself through these experiences, and I decided to share them with you.  I am sharing the practical techniques and action steps that have been most beneficial to me and to both my teachers and students.   These are translated into simple fun exercises that you can enjoy over the course of 37 days, with a time commitment of only 5 to 15 minutes each day.  These exercises will take you on a path that otherwise would require volumes of texts, conferences, and private interactive coaching sessions.

My Mastermind Group:  The teachers that have helped me most along the way, along with countless other authors and speakers, are:  Leo Buscaglia, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Louise Hay, Abraham-Hicks, Jesus, Elnora “Granny” Schaefer, my kids Katie, Betsy, and James,  and each living person I have come in contact with ... especially the 10 year olds!  

Have you noticed that “real world” wisdom beats Ph.D. wisdom every time!

Mission Statement for Extreme Thought Makeover:  Words don’t teach.  It is only life experience that teaches!  This is the uniqueness of this Workshop.  Extreme Thought Makeover will take you thru daily lessons and action steps that are fun and simple, requiring from 5 to 15 minutes per day.  It is completely laid out and “done for you.”  It only requires that you follow the simple daily steps.  You will be guided by a daily email with a link to my private training site for the day’s lesson.  What sets this workshop apart is that it is packed full of life experience:  you will not just read, you will actually do!  And that is the key to transformation.  Creating new habits of thought thru new behaviors that can create new beliefs, easily transform your life, bring you greatly increased joy and happiness, and bring you MAXIMUM LIFE!

Sometimes you will be asked to do something simple on an ongoing basis throughout the day, or write a little bit, or do something each day moving forward.   Sometimes it will be simple and seem so obvious, even silly, and sometimes the purpose will elude you.  I recommend that you savor any mystery you find in the Action Steps and do them anyway.  And some will completely blow your mind!  Simply follow them all! 

This might completely blow your mind.  You may exclaim, “this is genius,  absolute genius!”

Just follow all the daily lessons, and complete all the Action Steps.  After 37 days you will find they will have touched every part of your life, in a positive way, and you will be on a path to all of this:  You can have better relationships, a better outlook, better health, and a better life!  You will have a newfound perspective on disease, and on money.  Many of your fears around these two issues will have disappeared.  You will have let go of negative energy in your life.  You will be inspired to continue on your path of expansion and growth moving forward.  Many of the transformations will happen quietly, and below your level of consciousness.  They will appear and present themselves to your conscious mind when you least expect it.  And it will be wonderful!

The “old and busted” thinking:  so much of your life has been reinforcing “old and busted” programming and paradigms that have been passed on from others.  Many of these are built by and continue to benefit others.

The “new hotness” thinking:  this requires re-programming by taking baby steps to new thought patterns.  Did you know that your brain has the ability to re-wire itself?  It actually creates new synapses and connections based on new thoughts that you think habitually.

Why This Works:   There is an amazing supply of books and videos in the self-help and success category.  Many of these texts and movies can really have a profound effect on you, temporarily.  The challenge is that words alone do not teach.  It is only life experience that teaches.  Look deep into your past, you know this is true for you.  The words can inspire, and even inspire you to move forward on your quest for self improvement, and especially toward increased joy and happiness in your life.  but the words alone cannot teach.  So the challenge is to take those words and translate them into an action step, an experience, something that will have a lasting effect in your life.  That’s what I have done.  I have laid out easy Action Steps and I take you right to them each day.  This is the life experience life that will really enable your learning, and your transformation.

What Makes This Different:   It offers life experience!  A 37 day workshop of life experience!  It is unique in that regard.  It can truly make a profound difference in your perspective, based on subtle shifts in your thoughts, consistently over time.  That is how quantum leaps are achieved:  baby steps over time that subconsciously prepare you for a leap.  Once you start the program, stick with it, even if some of the lessons and exercises seem obvious or juvenile.  They will work.  Stay with it!  Remember, 10 year-old wisdom beats Ph.D. wisdom every time (and M.D. wisdom!) 

Who Is Right for The Makeover:   Specifically, this is created for you if you are ready to expand your life.  If you are at a point where there is significant desire to change and grow, and where there is also an openness to allow in new ways of thinking.  It is said that “knowing stands in the way of learning,” and thus the student must be ready to learn, to allow in new thought patterns.  You know that at anytime in life when rapid growth occurs, it is always accompanied by an openness to try new ideas and ways of thinking.  For example:  starting school, going away to camp, going to college, getting married, having your first child, picking up the saxophone, or a golf club, or even the first day on a new job.  There is always an openness to learning and thinking in a new way.

I created Extreme Thought Makeover with YOU in mind!

I created it for you if you are like me and have ever struggled with career or marriage or parenting or health or money issues.  If  perhaps your life has been a “symphony of wrong turns” as well.  I created it for you if you are like me and you know that you want much more than “normal” in these areas of your life.

These experiences power your desire!

If you really desire more in your life, and if you know that more is possible!  That openness to learning coupled with a strong desire to grow in life are the necessary and magical keys to the transformation that this workshop can create.  My goal is to attract the people for which my material and coaching is the perfect next step.  Those who are ready for a little nudge and some baby steps that will irreversibly impact their lives.

Who Is Not Right for This Program:   If you are someone that really feeds on negative energy and loves controversy and talking about what everybody else “should” do, don’t enroll in this course.  Obviously if you are not desiring a change, or are not open-minded and flexible, it would not be of benefit to you.  Perhaps it will be at some future time in your life.

Please enjoy some of my inspirations:

Day 35 Action Step: There are four worlds:  the mental, the emotional, the spiritual, and the physical.  The physical world is simply a “print-out” of the other three.

- T. Harv Ecker, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

Day 14 Action Step: I wrote a check to myself for $10,000,000 for “acting services rendered” and carried it in my wallet until it was shredded with wear. it was only a few years until I was able to ask for twice that!           - Jim Carrey, Actor

Day 12 Action Step: You are the media operations director for your own life, and you can totally control what information comes into your brain, and what thoughts will be created over and over.  Attention to this one thing can completely transform your life!

- Randy Gage, International Author, Consultant, and Trainer

Day 3 Action Step: I turned my bathroom into a university, and listen to 30 minutes of new, inspiring information every day as I shower and shave, without exception.  It has made all the difference!  When we bought our new home, my wife said, “can we finally ditch that ugly CD player sitting on the bathroom counter?”  I said, “that ugly CD player is the main reason we have our new home!”

1. -Michael Clouse, Intl. Trainer, former editor of Upline Magazine
   

Day 20 Action Step: Thoughts become things.  Choose wisely!

Mike Dooley, Author

Day 14 Action Step: We have received hundreds of stories from people who have brought huge sums of money to themselves using "the secret" check. It’s a fun game that works!

- Rhonda Byrne, author of “The Secret”

Day 23 Action Step: There is one thing that I have done which has impacted me the most in my evolution into more of my self and my natural joy.  It has been my spiritual practice of turning my car into my personal wellness center by listening to words of wisdom from the teachers that i respond to most strongly.  I listen to cd's and tracks on my ipod, using a random setting and trusting that what comes up is the perfect thing for me to hear to shift my thinking into something lighter, or healing, or joy filled. It works every time.

- Judy Corkle, Life coach, Chicago

Testimonials from Life Coaches:

This program is a masterful culmination of the best wisdom from modern day inspirational teachers and guides, and from great Masters from the past, and adds the wisdom,  creativity and playfulness of its creator, Dr. Rick.

Dr. Rick has assembled ideas and practices to use on a daily basis that are fun, simple and easy to do, which in a short period of time – 37 days – ignite an internal transformation in the user that is amazing and life changing!  Anyone who is interested in taking steps to have a happier, more fulfilling life can benefit from this program regardless of their level of awareness of the source of  true change.    Seasoned students of the power of thought who take daily action will feel a sense of fulfillment in enhancing their personal power; beginners will delight in seeing how quickly improved conditions show up through harnessing the power of directed thinking.  The only requirement for anyone is simply…to say YES!

There is no way you can go through this 37 day program and not be affected.  Somehow, some way, there will be an exercise that touches you, helps you, expands you, and takes you to a place of greater joy from which you can never return!

The amazing thing here is that there are some absolutely brilliant lessons tucked inside this program that can provide weight loss, nutrition, fitness, and even recovery from serious disease.  I think this is the greatest medical care cure guide I have ever seen, because it goes way beyond prevention or cure, it deals with the root cause of disease.  That lesson alone is worth far more than the cost of membership.

If I were to pick out the one exercise that has been most significant and valuable to me from this program, it would have to be Day 3 “Audio Education.”  I have done it consistently for 10 years, and I really believe it has made the biggest difference.  It is one of the techniques that also has led me to my greatest hunger for seeking other ways to further the growth and expansion of my thinking and of my life.  The amazing thing is, it is one of the few exercises that can be practiced on a daily basis, and actually does not take any time out of your day to do!  Imagine that!     - Dr. Rick Schaefer
