My Why …

Leave a reply

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!

Want Vs. Work

Leave a reply

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.

The 1% Answer …

This text was sent to me by a Division 1 All-American golfer I’m humbled to work with. I’m posting it because, instead of feeling sorry for himself after a poor final round, he wanted to learn how to approach it, mentally. While most players would focus on “what if,” he wanted to know NOW WHAT?

I also posted my answer below.

Know Why You Do What You Do

Leave a reply

Why are you doing what you’re doing? It’s easy to get lost in your day-to-day grind, and neglect that question. The “hard work” you’re putting in is irrelevant if you don’t live in this answer 25/8, 366 – every day, all day, immersed in it … or, at the very least, trying to figure it out!

Your driving force automatically creates confidence, motivation, and passion towards your every day work, and will never allow you to stop. When you’re emotionally connected to your Why, there isn’t an obstacle strong enough to make you quit. The mistake most people make is getting immersed in the work to achieve the dream, ignoring (or not knowing) their reason behind it all.

When I’m tired, not feeling 100%, or frustrated … all I have to do is focus on my two emotional driving forces, and I instantly become mentally super-human again. Below are mine. What’s yours?

Change Is A Choice …

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!

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?

I Guarantee You'll Feel Different

Guarantee

DO THIS:

Replace “goal” with guarantee! Instead of saying, “My goal is …” Make your focus, “I guarantee (this) will happen.”

Goal leaves wiggle-room for quit – the word has been used so often by so many, it doesn’t emotionally resonate as powerfully as in the past. When you write out your weekly, monthly, or yearly guarantees, there’s a completely different emotional reaction that takes place. The key to achieving anything is being emotionally connected. There was a day where “my goal is …” did the job, but today isn’t that day any longer.

Try something new – step away from the majority and attach yourself to fearlessness. If you want what they don’t have … you gotta do what they won’t do!

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%.”
