2: The VOTA FormulaTransforming the multiplierproblem-solving creativity ofevery individual on a microchipconnectedplanet.Two powerful trends are transforming the world andcreating greater abundance in all areas of humanactivity.Accelerating microtechnology: The first trendinvolves accelerating possibilities for greater productivitycaused by more powerful microchip-based tools,systems, and networks that millions more individualsare starting to utilize with each passing day.Unlimited aspiration: The second trend is the unlimitedexpansion of human aspiration as individuals continuallyplan bigger and better futures for themselvesbecause of the new capabilities and opportunities providedby microtechnology.These two trends mean that there is now agrowing possibility of providing a new method forbillions of human beings to transform their skillsof thinking, creativity, communication, and cooperationin ways that were not possible or even imaginable25 years ago.Because you’re reading this, you will have the opportunityto be an instant leader in bringing about this transformation.The VOTA Formula : In this issue, I present my candidatefor this “global transformative capability,” which Icall The VOTA Formula — a thinking-and-actionprocess that, for the past 30 years, has been the foundationof the Strategic Coach ® Program.I make this recommendation because, in my experience,VOTA represents a remarkable transformative capabilityfor individuals, groups, and organizations that can bemastered by anyone, starting at a very young age. And itcan be completely learned within an hour at most.There is much talk around the world today abouthow to educate human beings in a 21st-century,technologically-connected society and economy. Butmost of these discussions hold onto the idea that theexisting educational authorities will still be in chargeof what gets taught and how education is organized.My vision for this VOTA Formula, which I’lldescribe in detail below, is that it could becomethe single universal skill of daily, practical transformationin the lives of increasing numbers ofpeople throughout the 21st century.Here’s what I have in mind when I say this. I’m talkingabout a world where billions of individuals areusing VOTA to plan, structure, and transform the normalopportunities and challenges of their daily lives.This world would be easily <strong>10x</strong> more productive andprosperous — that is, <strong>10x</strong> more abundant — thanour present one.To get a quick overview of what I’m planning here,have a look at the VOTA Formula diagram on the followingpage. Then, come back and we’ll look at thisconcept in more detail.VOTA is the basis of all human problem-solving.Over my past 40 years as a coach to highly successful,talented, and ambitious entrepreneurs, I haveidentified a single process that all of these entrepreneurs— more than 15,000 of them — utilize tomake creative breakthroughs in their businesses andlives and to create innovative new forms of valuecreation in thousands of different marketplacesaround the world. Let me walk you through whatthis means.VOTA makes use of four great brain abilities thatevery human being is born with: Vision, Opposition,Transformation, and Action. It is these four fundamentalthinking abilities that unify all of humanexperience, going back to the very beginning. On thenext pages, I’ll explain each of them more fully.7
