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!

Two Personal Records In A Row!

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?

She Never Stopped Believing

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!

She's Creating A New Belief System

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!

Enduring Failure Is Your Key To Success

UnsuccessfulYears

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?

Crush Your Fears

FearLiar

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!
