Too many people are looking for a break, a discount, or shortcut.
There aren’t any coupons on your way to the top – you must pay full price. Sacrifice the max, punch fear in the face as hard as you can, and stare your future in the eyes. What WILL you achieve?
NO EXCUSES!
6 runner-ups at the US Open isn’t a coincidence, it’s a pattern!
I won’t pretend to know Phil Mickelson from the inside-out, but I do know he’s a gambler, loving the adrenalin high that comes from defying the odds. The 1% Mindset is built on the foundation of doing what the majority are too afraid to do, but it’s also immersed in complete discipline and control.
Champions from all arenas know when to crank it into 6th gear and when to downshift into 4th. Talent isn’t enough … winning is an art form!
When opportunity comes knocking, open the door!
A few opportunities in your life have the power to change it all – I had one of those this weekend. I was blessed to spend the day with Eric Thomas, globally known motivational speaker and voice of “If You Want To Succeed As Bad As You Wanna Breathe.”
More than the business wisdom he shared with me, I was impressed with his humility and true selflessness. He allowed me into his 20+ years of ridiculous work ethic and knowledge about how to take my “game” to another level. Of course, I’m grateful for the doors he offered to open for me, but even more than that, I was floored by the MAN he was – God loving, humble, and generous. Eric’s a true model of success – from the inside-out.
This day changed it all for me, and look forward to growing our relationship. When your day comes, will you be ready? Are you setting yourself up to bust through the door of opportunity? If you’re always ready, you won’t have to get ready.
Here’s a sneak peak of Nicole Davis, Olympic level sprinter I’m so blessed to help.
I’ll be making a video next week, highlighting her rise from mediocrity to where she is today – knowing Rio 2016 is on her fingertips!
She’s a huge part of the 1% Family, and WILL inspire you.
The US Open symbolizes mental and emotional strength – the ability to grind through 4 days of defining moments. For some, it’ll be their first opportunity at history, for others, a chance to add to their Major wins … but for another, this means MOMENTUM. For him, the US Open signifies legacy, defined as “best of all-time.”
When Tiger Woods talks calmly about winning his first Major is five years, don’t believe the hype – he’s not calm inside, he’s on fire! He eats, sleeps, dreams, and bleeds Jack’s record. This is what legends do – they immerse themselves in every ounce of the task. This record he so “calmly” talks about is part of his DNA. His dad embedded history into him from birth. While most are trying to “do their best,” Tiger’s guaranteeing to go beyond his best – past anyone’s belief of possible!
Thank you to @EnvyMyAmbitions on Twitter for sending me this picture. He tweets me regularly, focusing on how he’s going to separate himself from the pack – ridiculous work ethic is one of his biggest weapons.
What are YOU doing to distinguish yourself? What commitment have you made to to set yourself apart from the weak and timid? Are you modeling for your kids, students, or friends? Who would benefit from your personal redevelopment?
If you can’t do it for yourself … focus on those who may feel inspired watching you raise your bar. The 1% Mindset is a choice to wake up each morning, dedicated to living a fearless life, pushing boundaries past the majority’s small term thinking.
When will you start?

What you do when no one’s looking will determine your long term success. Are you doing the minimum or more than is expected?
Luc started immersed in fear, but is now one of the top underclassmen recruits in the U.S.

NEVER BACK DOWN FROM YOUR BELIEFS!
The 1% Lifestyle is about thinking, saying, and doing what no one else is willing.
BE the change. LIVE the change.
I’d literally die for my family, if that meant they’d live to see another day! THAT’S drive, hunger … my reason for getting out of bed.
What belief, dream, or promise would you give your last breathe for? Make what you’re doing bigger than yourself – something that leaves a mark in your wake.
Success for self is empty success, but sacrificing for the people behind you or those who sacrificed before you … that’s genuine success.
When you wake up each morning, make it not about what you do, but rather, who you ARE!
