Carly (on the right) did it again! Back-to-back weeks breaking her personal record in the 100 meter.
She didn’t hit an “easy button” or learn a magical technique … all she did was tap into a belief system that was lying dormant, waiting to be called on. She DECIDED to raise her bar and create a vision that was free of fear.
Two hours of talking huge guarantees … two personal records shattered!
When will YOU choose the 1% Mindset?
I’ve been working with Erica since she was in 10th grade, now getting ready to graduate from UC Santa Barbara. She found a way to pay for college on her own, with little (if any) support from her family. She walked on to the tennis team, hoping to get a chance to prove herself to the coach, but struggled … and often.
She worked harder than anyone on the team, yet still no payout. She wasn’t playing, and it looked as if finding a spot in the starting lineup was going to be futile. During her sophomore season, she talked about quitting – she was putting in hours of grind and sweat, but wasn’t achieving the results she thought she deserved.
Erica, however, is a survivor and wouldn’t give in to the “quit.” She kept battling, never being out worked, making a promise to herself that she’d continue, no matter how much pain she had to endure. Her junior year finally gave way to more playing time, earning herself a spot in the starting lineup. SHE WOULDN’T RELINQUISH THAT SPOT!
In the beginning of her senior season, she was offered a scholarship and named Team Captain!
Erica never stopped fighting, making a committed decision to not give in to the struggle – she’s the true definition of the 1% Mindset. I’m incredibly proud of her and will continue to use her story as an example of what’s possible when you never, EVER stop working!
Carly McPolin is a high school sprinter I’ve had the pleasure to work with recently. Getting to know her, it’s becoming apparent that she’s willing to do whatever’s needed to stretch her comfort zone.
I’ve pushed her belief system … she’s responded with passion.
I’ve tested her will to struggle … she’s invited more.
Carly’s unafraid of being challenged, embracing the opportunity to perform at a level she didn’t know existed. In one week, she’s already broken her personal record in the 100 meters, which is a testimony to her willingness to raise the bar on her expectations!
I’m so proud of her, and have no doubt she’s going to achieve ridiculous levels of success!
Are you willing to fail for 364 days in a row … knowing on day 365, you’ll succeed beyond your wildest imagination?
This is your biggest separation factor – the ability to endure obstacle after obstacle, knowing your success is on it’s way. The majority aren’t willing to wait, consequently rushing the process or giving up all together.
Failing hard is not only inevitable, it’s mandatory. Are you willing?

The emotion you feel from fear is real, but the paralysis is an illusion!
I know it FEELS real – I struggled with it for years. I never understood I had all the power. The second I decided to stop being afraid and attack the illusion, the fear melted away.
It’s not enough to “want” to lose the fear … you must swing ferociously and never stop! You deserve success. It’s there waiting for you to decide!
Huge Congratulations to Jack Perry, #1 golfer at Northwestern – winning the Big Ten’s lowest season stroke average. He’s the first Wildcat to win this honor since PGA star, Luke Donald.
We’ve worked together since he was in high school, but he had never totally immersed himself into the process of eliminating his fear. Last month, he called me, almost in desperation to step his game up to another level. He was looking for an “easy button,” one technique to increase confidence, but instead, we talked about never being out worked and sacrificing all comfort levels – more than the majority can fathom. I wanted him to buy-in to long term confidence, rather than a quick fix. Up until that point, he was doing the minimum – working hard, but not raising his mental bar to a level that would separate him from the pack.
After our conversation, he dedicated himself to doing what 99% weren’t doing – he stopped “hoping” to be the best at Northwestern, and DECIDED to do whatever it took. He began getting out of bed earlier, getting to practice before everyone, but most importantly, stopped settling for being “really good.” Ridiculous success was finally his target. For the first time since we began together, Jack chose to sacrifice his fear and immerse himself in confidence.
The following week, he crushed the field, breaking Luke Donald’s scoring record! If he continues to sacrifice, you’ll be reading his name on the PGA leader board.

VERY OFTEN, THE KEY TO GRABBING WHAT YOU WANT IS REFUSING TO HAVE ANYTHING LESS!
