THIS is what it’s all about – shaping a young person’s life by what you do and how you make him feel. It’s obvious by this young man’s emotional note, Jeff has had a huge impact on his future.
When you look in the mirror and ask how to separate from mediocrity, remember this message. Offer your hand to someone who needs it – it may just be the one hand that changes it all for that person.
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.
The Navy Seals live by this motto!
In other words, love the pain, invite the pain, ask for more!
I can’t overemphasize having a detailed, emotional connection to your driving force – your Why! I’m regularly asked how to stay focused and motivated, when it feels impossible to keep fighting. Let me be honest – without a strong Why, you WILL quit! The majority stop, not because of a lack of talent or correct information at their finger tips, but because they didn’t have a powerful enough connection to why they were doing what they were doing.
Fame, fortune, and all the “outside stuff” will fade after a certain amount of pain and struggle hit you! Make your Why bigger than yourself – more important than personal glory. How would your success affect others? Who’s lives are changed because of your hard work and dedication?
I’ve said it many times, and I’ll continue to say it: My Why is my daughter! I wake up before the sun for her – not for her college fund, big house, or car she’ll own … but rather, for the mentality I’m helping create! Whatever she wants, she can have, IF she’s willing to put in the hours and sacrifice her comfort zone! My life revolves around her learned 1% Mindset. I want her to understand, and know deep in her core, that it’s perfectly o.k. to think differently, to want more than most, and to believe that “realistic” is THEIR word!
This quick VIDEO is just the beginning of our growth together!
I had a blast on the Golf Club Radio show, with Danielle Tucker!
If you’ve ever doubted yourself … listen! If you’ve ever wondered why, even though you’ve tried so hard to eliminate fears, but they won’t disappear … listen!
We also talked Tiger Woods, and I gave you insight on a PGA Touring Pro I sat down with last month.
Start my INTERVIEW at 1:10
I LOVE this article!! I found it on Twitter, through coach Heather Stewart (@4evrhoopin). It speaks the truth, with no worry of who’s feelings may get “hurt.” Today’s generation has the most, wants the most, feels entitled to achieving the most … but puts in the least amount of effort than any generation in history. Because of instant access to everything today, the majority of young people believe that success should also be attained instantaneously. THIS is the huge disconnect, mentally. You can Google or YouTube how to create almost anything, but you can’t fast forward the amount of time it’ll take, or the effort and the perseverance needed.
She felt MORE energetic after waking up earlier. It becomes addicting getting out of bed before the sun rises, knowing you’re working harder and putting in more hours than, not only your competition, but your old self!
I challenge you to step outside of your comfort zones and challenge your fears. Stop settling for the same average routine, hoping something will change. MAKE IT CHANGE!
There’s a reason my daughter’s my WHY!
It’s all about leaving a legacy!
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.
