  • A Life of Excuses

    This IQ Matrix explores the impact that excuses have on our lives and how to overcome them. We all, of course, make excuses from time to time.

  • Quit Complaining!

    This IQ Matrix explores how to stop complaining and start taking responsibility for your life and circumstances.

It breaks down the reasons why you tend to complain. It highlights the consequences of complaining and the impact it has on your life and other people.

It hurts you because you are neglecting to take responsibility for your life, problems, and circumstances. As a result, you will always be at the mercy of others or at the mercy of the endless problems life keeps throwing your way.

Moreover, it's holding you back from living your life to the best of your ability. When your critical voice is around you don't do what you could do to achieve your goals and objectives. You, instead, hold yourself back, which will only lead to a life of unfulfilled potential and endless regrets. This mind map explores where your critical voice comes from. It walks you through a three-step process you can use to subdue your critical voice. And it delves into numerous solutions for taming your inner critic.

And as you work your way through them you will begin to question your own view of reality. No longer will you be swayed by your past.

    Curb Television Addiction

    This IQ Matrix provides you with an action plan you can use to make smarter choices when it comes to your television viewing habits. This isn’t so much about eliminating television altogether, it’s rather more about watching the right kind of television that helps bring value to your life. But, of course, moderation must always be kept in mind. Without moderation, good television viewing can become destructive because life exists outside the television box and not within it. This mind map will help you curb your television addiction. You will no longer use television as an excuse not to focus on your goals. You will, rather, use it as a medium for positive change and transformation. The mind map makes the argument against watching television. It breaks down a three-step process for reducing the amount of time you watch television. It presents you with a series of self-assessment questions that help unlock the real reasons why you over-indulge in television. And it concludes by presenting you with guidelines for making smarter viewing choices.

  • Taking Responsibility

    This IQ Matrix explores the value of taking full responsibility for your life’s choices, decisions, and actions. Whether something is your fault or not, it’s always helpful to take responsibility. That way you always have options and some semblance of control over what will happen next. However, typically, most people will often choose to shy away from taking responsibility. They will instead end up making excuses, complaining and/or blaming people and circumstances for their problems and predicament. This literally saps their personal power and leaves them in a very vulnerable state where they feel powerless and helpless and unable to control their fate. On the other hand, when we accept full responsibility, this naturally empowers us to take positive and proactive action toward our desired aims. This mind map breaks down what it means to take responsibility for your life. It explores how to start taking responsibility for everything that happens to you. It goes through the requirements for taking responsibility. And walks you through a five-step process to help you develop the habit of taking responsibility.

    The Law of Opposites

    The Law of Opposites states that if you do what the majority of other people do, then you will inevitably become what the majority of people already are. In other words, if you follow the masses and do what they do, then you will end up getting very ordinary results. This ultimately translates into a less than fulfilling life. Most of us though, expect that we will one day experience a better life. We naively anticipate that we’ll eventually achieve all our goals and aspirations. However, the unfortunate truth is that most people never get there. They don’t get there because of a culmination of poor choices they have made over a lifetime. This mind map highlights the choices that the average person tends to make that result in an unsatisfying existence. From there, all you need is to do the opposite. Use the law of opposites to create a better life for yourself and for the ones you love.

Suddenly you’re not in the middle of them, you can actually see them, take a step back and see the full picture. Thank you Adam for helping us with that.

Your maps are brilliant. They are colorful, creative, clever, clear, well thought out, give great direction and allow me to reflect on things I hadn't previously thought of, thereby expanding my own perspective.

AN IQ MATRIX IS LIKE A NEURON NETWORK OF INTERCONNECTED THOUGHTS


Each IQ Matrix represents a cluster of thoughts about a single topic. It’s like a neuron network of interconnected thoughts where you meticulously explore the brain of someone who has successfully mastered the topic. You then take those thought clusters and implant them into your own brain as you use the map. Kind of like a software upgrade for your brain.


HELPS ORGANIZE COMPLEX TOPICS AND IDEAS

Each map effectively categorizes the most important and actionable ideas about a topic into conveniently digestible chunks. It uses keywords and questions in a sentence-like structure that’s easy to follow and understand.

STIMULATES MEMORY AND RECALL OF INFORMATION

Each map uses a combination of keywords, colors and images designed in an organic radial-like structure that naturally helps improve memory while encouraging photographic recall of the information you are exploring.​

Each map provides you with a comprehensive bird’s eye view of the topic. Subsequently, you gain deeper insights as you're better able to recognize how various ideas are interlinked together to form the whole topic.​
