Meet Story Cummings – center for Team USA!
This kid is a beast, and is totally immersed in the 1% Lifestyle. No one will out work him – there’s no doubt we’ll be reading about him in the future, playing in a huge collegiate program.
Tweet him @StroyCummings. Here’s an example of his mentality: “When everything on your body hurts, but all you can think about is grinding harder, you’re in the right place.”
BOOM!
Huge congratulations to 1% Family member and Northwestern’s #1 golfer, Jack Perry, for being named All American!!
His physical talent has never been questioned, but he’s now committed to the 1% Lifestyle and the sacrifices needed to take it past “really good” status – he’s now reached “great,” but isn’t satisfied. In a recent text, he said, “I was named All American, which is cool, but I WILL do better!” THAT’S the 1% Mindset – never settling!
His long term guarantees include winning multiple Majors on the PGA Tour. He’s not just hoping to make it on Tour, he wants to break records. Most would say that’s too high of an expectation … we say it’s already done … all that’s left is to show the world what it looks like!
Congratulations to 18 year old, Sam Towler, for making it through Regional Qualifying for the 2013 British Open. He’s on his way to the open qualifying round, where WHEN he makes it, will be playing with the big boys at Murfield.
I’ve been blessed to be able to work with him this year, helping him become immersed in the 1% Lifestyle. Sam resides in the UK, but has committed to play his collegiate golf in the States, at Georgia Southern. He’s a sponge, mature beyond his years, and will be a regular on the PGA Leaderboards in the future. I’ll be making a more detailed highlight video of his progress soon.
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!
There’s a reason my daughter’s my WHY!
It’s all about leaving a legacy!
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?
