Now What?!

When plans don’t go as scheduled and after you’ve been kicked to the ground for the 100th time … what will you do? There are only two possible choices — feel sorry for yourself or look in the mirror and ask, “Now What?!” What choices will you make after they say you won’t get it done? What part of your game plan will you adjust? You only have two choices …

Want vs. Need

To become the 1% and taste the type of success you deserve, you must make the distinction between desire and absolute commitment towards the goal. To want isn’t enough … there must be an almost desperate need to attain your long term dreams.

It's Your Time

Aren’t you tired of reading about other people’s 1% success stories. When will you decide that it’s time they read about yours? Today is THAT day where you choose to do whatever it takes to make it happen. What does your plan look like? What will you do to attain it?

Go take it!

No Days Off

Yes, it’s Sunday … where most people are resting, I’m working. I’m posting here, Tweeting, posting on my Facebook page, or recording audio tracks for you.
M-F aren’t work days for me. Every minute that I’m awake, I’m doing SOMETHING to get me closer to my goals. 99% need the rest because they’re not totally immersed in the passion that is the “grind.” If you’re trying to get to that next level, first … stop trying. Second, do more than you think is necessary. No Days Off.

Total Immersion

Why do I post here, Twitter, and my Facebook page every day? Why do I make these audio tracks for you every day? Why do I go to sleep visualizing my 1% successful future? Why do I wake up every morning focused on what has to be done that day in order to get closer to my goals?
The answer is simple …

When Will You?

I used to think of Fridays as the day where “I made it!” I got through the week, and now it’s time to kick my feet up and watch the game. Let me rest until Monday, where I’ll start the grind all over again.
Unfortunately, this is where 99% of people live their weeks. The 1% have learned otherwise …

Your Perception Dictates …

How you view each moment of your day is completely dictated by your perception of that moment. It’s been said over and over, yet the majority still don’t thoroughly understand the power of this concept. Do you see fear of failure or love for opportunity?

Decide that this will be your priority!

Fact vs. Fiction

There’s a very fine line and delicate balance between what’s true and what’s fiction during your climb towards excellence. These often crossover, creating confusion and doubt in your attempt to become 1%. 
Let’s make this clear … fact is everything you think, say, believe, and decide. Fiction is what they think, say, believe, and decide – never confuse the two. What they think about your journey and belief system is fiction in your every day actions. The negativity they spew about your decisions to excel past mediocrity is their opinion, therefore making it fiction in your life. 
Looking in the mirror, asking the important questions, and listening to the answers is how you define fact on your path. Expect them to try and convince you to think of their opinions as fact, but beware of the illusion. Their attempts to pull you down from the top rung of the ladder come from their own insecurities and fears. Know this as fact!
Fact vs. Fiction — what will you believe?

Do Now, Have Later

Do what you must now so you can have what you want later! Whether it’s about having to go to school, studying, or taking final exams, you must do it now, in order to get your degree later. If you want to master your craft, you must put in the hours of pain, struggle, and sacrifice now. That temporary frustration will lead you to what you want to achieve later.
There’s a short term game that must be played. It’s a test of your will, passion, and discipline. If achieving everything you want was easy, it wouldn’t feel as special when it finally manifests. The 1% success stories have mastered this equation. 
When you choose to focus on what you WILL in the future … the now becomes automatic!
