Mighty Plan's Home Site Map The Master Formula for Achieving Any Huge Goal There’s actually a simple formula that sums up what it takes to change the world. If you think about it, it’s a universal formula. It can be used on any level, from changing your life; to changing an organization; to changing a nation; to changing the world. I am going to call it the Master Formula:
CLEAR +
ENOUGH +
ENOUGH –
DOUBTS & –
COMPETING =
MAJOR To give you some confidence in this formula, let’s think of how a group of people in the last century decided to go to the Moon. They developed a clear vision: Have men land on the Moon and return. Then they needed the methods. They needed to build and test a vehicle. Through several stages, a vehicle was developed: the Saturn Five rocket. Since they couldn’t fund the space program themselves, they needed to get Congress to fund it. They had to point out enough benefits to get Congress to appropriate the money. To get
the money, they told Congress and the President that we would develop
technology that would help the They also had to eliminate doubts that it could be done. There were many unknowns at that time. Among them: whether humans could survive in zero-gravity; whether the surface of the moon was firm enough to allow liftoff; whether the Command Module could withstand the heat of re-entry, etc. They
also needed to eliminate or downplay competing activities. At that time the Unites States was fighting a war in Nevertheless, in the face of these excellent counter-arguments, those who wanted to go to the Moon won out. They overcame every obstacle. On this
website, the different parts of Mighty Plan will be organized
according to the Master Formula. Right now, you can understand the
formula in this way: First, we need to start with a vision: the goal of
a hundredfold reduction in suffering and death—and the stabilization
of Earth’s life-support systems. Second, we need methods to get us to
the goal. Third, enough people must have enough incentives and benefits
to use the methods. Fourth, even if people have incentives, they won’t
use the methods if they believe the goal is impossible. So, major doubts
must be eliminated. Fifth, even with incentives, methods, and a belief
that the goal is possible, people often prefer to do other
“competing” activities. These competing activities must be made less
alluring. 2) The upgrades and
related methods of Mighty Plan have huge unprecedented firepower to
rapidly change the world, but even I don't believe that the methods can
take us all the way to a hundredfold reduction in preventable suffering
and death on their own. Mighty Plan assumes two
things: It assumes that current organizations and individuals that do
life-saving good will either continue their work, or will use elements
of Mighty Plan to increase the good they do. It also assumes that
some people will use superprograms to create new upgrades that will
finish the job of a hundredfold reduction in suffering. In other
words, the plan is designed to get things rolling fast enough toward
a goal of a hundredfold reduction in suffering and death. The upgrades
currently in Mighty Plan might only take us a third of the way to the
goal, but more importantly they will set the stage for people to have
the skills to create further upgrades. To use an analogy, if a
million dollar building needed to be built, Mighty Plan wouldn't be the
million dollars, but it would be the $100,000 needed to hire enough
fundraisers to raise the rest of the money needed. From here, you can start reading any of the five areas of the Master Formula. But in the end, you ought to read it all. For some people, those who still have serious doubts, it might be best to start in the doubts and obstacles section, and read how doubt after doubt is crushed or cut down so small that people aren't paralyzed by it. Other people may want to start with the methods, because they will want to see if Mighty Plan has the firepower to change the world. But for most people we suggest that you read the materials in the following order:
