Do What You Have To Do …

Leave a reply

THIS is what separates the 1% from the 99%!

A student and I were trying to synch our schedules for our next Skype, but were having difficulties doing so. Finally, we decided on early morning. He lives on the East coast, which is three hours ahead of me. His availability was 7:00 am, which meant a 4:00 am Skype for me! Normally, I’m up at 4:00, but this would be too late for our session … so there was only one choice: 3:30 am wake up!

If you want to reach a level 10, you have no choice but to sacrifice at a level 10. The 99% will only sacrifice what feels comfortable, but rarely gives more. Look at yourself in the mirror, and get honest – are you giving enough? Are you living in your comfort zone? Is your Why strong enough? Does it push you to do what the 99% can’t? Make a DECISION today!

 In order to have what the majority don’t … you gotta do what the majority won’t.

OHoops Coach Ryan Sacrificing …

This was OHoopsCoachRyan post on Twitter yesterday, and what he’s doing during our #1PercentChallenge: “If 1% of people are up at 4 am, what % of people are up until 2 am doin work?” 
He’s killing it on the court and in the gym, proving that excuses don’t exist in his world, and elite level success can only come from sacrifice, sweat, and pain! You can also find Ryan at OHoopsTraining – dude’s a beast. He’s the true definition of the #1PercentMindset!

Better Than Your Best

Leave a reply

“Just do your best” sounds great, but is a cop-out!

BetterThanBest

No one knows what your best is … including you! You have an unlimited ceiling. Your best was in the past, in the form of  personal records, so when you say, “I’m going to do my best,” you’re ultimately telling yourself to repeat what you’ve already accomplished!

Your future best has yet to be seen, and impossible to predict. Instead of doing your best in every workout, training, practice, or game … I want you to strive for BETTER THAN YOUR BEST! Raise your bar past your old best. If you don’t squash your past best today, try again … and again … and again, until you can say, “I’ve done better than my best!” Then, repeat!

The difference between record breakers and people you’ve never heard of, is this exact mindset – they’re unafraid of going beyond what the majority think is possible, mentally and physically. The 1% don’t focus on “what if I don’t achieve it today,” they concentrate on the effort needed to achieve it today.

Never fear stepping beyond the realm of possibility, striving for more than the eye can see. Your mind and self belief will lead you to places once thought unimaginable.

The Time Is NOW

What are you waiting for? Your opportunity WILL run out if you don’t seize it now! The 99% are waiting for someone to hand it to them, while YOU, the 1%, are willing to take it.

TAKE IT!

The 1% Mindset, Coming To You Live

Let’s get the 1% Message in front of your team! Separating from average is a mentality, not a hope or wish – it’s a guarantee that nothing or no one will stop you from achieving record-breaking success.

The 1% Mindset is a DECISION, promising to never again, get out worked … never again, allow others to determine what’s possible for you … never again, let fear and doubt dictate choices … never again, waste a second of opportunity … never again, make “realistic” a part of your vocabulary … never again, settle for mediocrity!

My message to your team isn’t cliche, it’s driven by mistakes I was forced to learn from as an adult, wishing I had that opportunity while I was competing. “Just do your best” won’t be mentioned … “Be BETTER than your best” will, however!

Your level of success is determined by how closely you align your actions with your desires – it’s an intentional act, never a coincidence. Together, we’ll create a culture in your program, where excellence isn’t hoped for, it’s expected … it’s not talked about, it’s LIVED!

The 1% Mindset is yours for the taking! Contact me here: dgingo@cox.net.

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?

Mark sent me this picture of him representing the 1% Lifestyle! Being Driven By Impossible means you attack the type of success the majority are too afraid to believe in. You’re willing to strive for a dream 99% laugh at, using their hate as fuel.
