TRAINING 1
After you watch the Training 1 video (or while watching it),
complete these workbook exercises.

In Training 1, I talked about the one question that will determine where you are in the next
6 months, that you can use to guide you forward. I also asked you this question in the
companion podcast episode. Answer it now in your workbook:

What do you want to make happen in the next 6 months of your life?

LET’S GO A LAYER DEEPER.

Imagine what you want your life to look like 6 months from now.
Tell me how things have shifted and journal about it below.

You’ve made exactly what you wanted happen

in the next 6 months...

How do you feel in your day to day life?

How have your relationships or friendships changed?

KNOWLEDGE-ACTION GAP

What’s blocking you is that you’re waiting to FEEL ready. You know what you need to do but
there is a gap between what you want and actually going after it.

This is called the Knowledge-Action Gap. And it’s best explained by using the Domino Effect,
which I taught you about in Training #1.

THE ACTIONS YOU NEED TO TAKE

YOU ARE
HERE

THE KNOWLEDGE-ACTION GAP

On the next page, you’re going to use one of my favorite tools to close the
Knowledge-Action Gap and create your exact plan for change.

SEE THE NEXT PAGE TO GET STARTED.

8 TRAINING 1

Now, let’s go deeper with one of my favorite tools, the Fuel Gauge.
This powerful tool has been a staple in many of my courses, and for good reason. It cuts right to the
core of the truth. Even if you’ve used it before, I encourage you to assess where you are right now.

The Fuel Gauge is a measurement tool that allows you to rate your energy and satisfaction levels in
a specific area of your life. Here are the different levels:

EMPTY TANK:

At this level, you feel completely depleted. You may feel hopeless
and lost, with no clear direction on how to move forward.

QUARTER TANK:

If you’re at this level, you’re still in survival mode. You have low
energy, and although you may know what you should do to
improve your situation, you lack the motivation to take action.

HALF TANK:

At this level, you’re coping with the current state of things, but
you know there’s room for improvement. You’re full of desire
but lack direction on how to make progress. Even when you see
possibilities, you may talk yourself out of taking action.

THREE-QUARTERS TANK:

This level adds energy to your life and makes it better. You’re
happy with the progress you’ve made, but you know there’s
still room for improvement.

FULL TANK:

This is the level where your life in this area totally energizes you.
You feel fulfilled and satisfied beyond measure. You’ve tapped
into excellence, and you’re excited to wake up and face this
part of your day because you know it will fill you with energy
and excitement.

TRAINING #2
Complete the following exercises while you are watching OR after you finish Training #2.

WELCOME BACK! LET’S RECAP.

In Training #1, you learned about the Domino Effect and how your Knowledge-Action Gap is
keeping you stuck.

Now, let’s unpack your blockers and uncover what’s holding you back from taking action on your
dreams, goals and ambitions. Check off which of the following is a blocker for you and explain why.

FEAR

Write out your biggest fears.

EXCUSES

OTHER:
18 TRAINING 2

Let’s convert your energy

from DEPLETED to ENERGIZED.
The way you take intentional, focused action and build momentum is by tapping into your
potential energy.

This starts with figuring out what brings you meaning, or what ENERGIZES you.

THINK OF YOUR GOALS, DREAMS, AND AMBITIONS AND WHERE THEY FALL
INTO OUR 5 CATEGORIES FROM THE FUEL GAUGE EXERCISE.

Which ones ENERGIZE you the most when you think about completing them?

HEALTH AND WELLNESS CAREER, MONEY, OR SCHOOL

RELATIONSHIPS, LOVE, FRIENDSHIPS HAPPINESS

PURPOSE, SPIRITUALITY, AND MEANING

Describe how you FEEL when you think about accomplishing these goals, dreams, or
ambitions.
19 TRAINING 2

Taking Action on your Project

You might have many goals, dreams, and ambitions you want to pursue but let’s focus on
one to work on for the next 6 months.
I want you to make this a project for you to take on in your life.

What aligns most with filling your energy tank from depleted to full?

(There are NO wrong answers because just like the Domino Effect, it only takes one tip forward to
get going and gain momentum to take on MORE.)

I am going to start working on the area of .

A project I am going to take on in this area is .

Imagine taking 15 minutes out of your day to commit to your project.

What would that look like?

When will you carve out the time? Check the timeframe you are committing to taking action.

IN THE MORNING IN THE AFTERNOON IN THE EVENING

List 5 tiny actions that would move you closer to your goal so that you tip that first domino
forward.

“If you have the courage to start,

you have the courage to succeed.”
20 TRAINING 2

You can close the Knowledge-Action Gap by waking up each day and taking the next
small, obvious step.

IT’S SIMPLE, BUT NOT EASY.

How will you celebrate yourself when you complete your daily 15 minutes of action?

(Examples: high five in the mirror, put on your favorite song, dance party, phoning a friend,
sharing your progress on social media)

Tools to help you stay on track:

1. Use The 5 Second Rule to 5-4-3-2-1 push through resistance and take action!

In order to change, build a business, be the best parent or partner, and do all the things you want
to do with your life, expect that you’ll have to take difficult, uncertain, or scary actions.

You’re never going to FEEL like it. Do it anyway.

If you want to go deeper, you can watch coaching videos on my YouTube Channel or purchase
my New York Times bestselling book, The 5 Second Rule at melrobbins.com/5secondrule

2. Find a supportive community.

What supportive communities do you know of that can launch you into your next chapter?

3. Find positive influencers who can inspire you to keep going!

Who in your life is a positive influence to help you make changes? Share who that could be below!

I’d love to be part of your support team. Hopefully you’ve felt that in
this training series, and I’m always here for you online.
