We Have A Winner …

Congratulations to Max Gray for his inspiring Success Story ...
He's the winner of a 1% T-shirt.

"Sophomore year, my summer was going great. I felt unstoppable!
During one of my team scrimmages, I dove for a pas, caught it,
and landed weird. I got up and knew I was hurt, but kept going.
I was new to varsity and wanted to keep playing, but just couldn't.
I took a week off - I couldn't walk, sleep, or do anything without
pain.

The doctor said I was fine - just a sprained back. I began playing,
but it kept hurting. I went back to the same doctor, but he kept
saying it was just sprained. I didn't believe it. Was I really THAT
weak? A sprained back, and I'm in THIS much pain? I hated everything.

I finally went to a different doctor, who looked at the same MRI and
said it was FRACTURED! I had been playing for 2 months with a fractured
back. I remember being in so much pain, but nothing compared to when he
told me I'd never play football again. I was depressed, I cried - it
was extremely hard. I was stuck in a back brace for 6 months. I had
no motivation until one day I realized I couldn't give up! I watched
videos from Giavanni Ruffin, which inspired me a lot.

I was finally able to do little things like push ups and sit ups. Every
day, I was doing everything I possibly could. It hurt, but I knew
the pain wouldn't last forever - I kept pushing myself. I would go early
before school every day and just run, work out, and think. It was tough
because there was still doubt in me that I couldn't play again. I eventually
started track season, and hurt it again on the hurdles. I found a way
to fight back and made it to bi-districts. Now, I'm here ... taking no
days off, making sure that never happens again!

I truly feel blessed to be able to play football and be a State competitor in
track. I'm a fighter! I'm striving to be a kick returner and wide receiver
at the college level. I'd be humbled to play ANYWHERE!"

Separation From Mediocrity

IMG_2030

Congratulations to Luc, who’s been named one of the nation’s top rising class of 2015 football players by PrepStar, being featured in this preseason’s issue. Just months ago, when we began working together, he was fighting his belief system, just “hoping” to make ANY football team in college, at any level. Now, he’s focused his guarantees on top DI programs …and he’s only  finishing his sophomore year. He’s going to be a beast by his senior season!

This magazine is subscribed to by all major Division I programs in the country, featured seven Heisman Trophy winners, 18,000 DI players, and  currently 300 NFL players. To say the least, this is a huge honor and confidence builder for Luc.

Our next step is keeping the fire lit, helping him INCREASE his hunger, now that he’s been nationally recognized. He’s been waking up before 6:00 most mornings to master his craft, but will now need to make it every morning. He understands in order to separate from the other “top DI prospects,” he must do what they’re unwilling to do.

SEPARATE FROM THE PACK. 1% Mindset Only!

I Guarantee You'll Feel Different

Guarantee

DO THIS:

Replace “goal” with guarantee! Instead of saying, “My goal is …” Make your focus, “I guarantee (this) will happen.”

Goal leaves wiggle-room for quit – the word has been used so often by so many, it doesn’t emotionally resonate as powerfully as in the past. When you write out your weekly, monthly, or yearly guarantees, there’s a completely different emotional reaction that takes place. The key to achieving anything is being emotionally connected. There was a day where “my goal is …” did the job, but today isn’t that day any longer.

Try something new – step away from the majority and attach yourself to fearlessness. If you want what they don’t have … you gotta do what they won’t do!

Marie's 1% Success Story …

MarieSUccessStory

This was sent to me from Marie – her 1% Success Story. She is a true inspiration!

“My success story will never end because every day I aim to reach higher,work harder,push myself and prove to myself that I CAN do it.I started my weight loss journey Nov 2011… by January 2012 I ran a 5K…August 2012 I completed my very first Triathlon..November 2013 I got serious about weight training and clean eating..April 2013 I hit 50lbs loss and I am now teaching an outdoor fitness boot camp,running 5k’s like it’s nobody’s business and helping others achieve their goals! I don’t have a plan of ” what I will be doing or when” but I do know that this is a lifestyle not a diet and there’s no giving up.My story is like so many others but what makes me different is that I push and push until I have nothing left to give, because if you really want it you will do the hard work to achieve your goals! I am that 1%.”

Never Quit On Your Dreams!

EminemSay

If you’re not being hated on, you’re not risking enough. True separation from the majority means having that majority think you’re out of your mind. They can’t wrap their heads around sacrificing what it takes to become the 1% and live the 1% Lifestyle.

“Stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.”

Never be afraid to hold strong to your beliefs, even if (especially when) the 99% are doing their best to knock you off that platform. Changing circumstances for yourself and those around you comes with a price – if you count the cost, you’ll never pay the price.

Don’t ever quit on your dream!
