Personal Growth
Working Hard vs. Working Smart

So many of us just keep our shoulder to the wheel and never even consider there might be a better way to achieve the results we want. Need. Desire. We just accept what we get, and tell ourselves that that’s the best we can do.
But, what if you can do so much better? What if you could double, triple, even increase your results 10-20-100 times?!
The Power of Encouragement

Today is a GREAT day! You can truly prosper.
All it takes is a single WORD.
You can rise above your circumstances and find the path to your future. Yes, YOU can do it.
All it takes is a single WORD.
I believe in YOU. I know, from personal experience, that you have incredible untapped potential. YOU can release it into the world.
All it takes is a single WORD.
Is Your Life as Meaningful as it Could Be?

The undeniable truth is that there are just 3 variables — all within your control — that determine if you will live the life of your dreams… or not. Fill these variables in and you will become the master of your own destiny. Your life will have meaning and purpose… a glow of happiness and conviction that will enlighten your path.
Fail to understand the importance of these 3 variables to your life, and your life will be much harder… more uncertain… and much more limited than it needs to be.
Choose EXCELLENCE over MEDIOCRITY and your entire world will change.

This week, we will add another word to your performance vocabulary: EXCELLENCE.
If, at the end of each day, you can honestly say that you did your very best—and that you intentionally chose excellence over mediocrity—you will achieve success beyond your wildest dreams.
Training To Reign Is Not Just A Slogan…

From Miss Universe… to the World Cup… to Tennis… to Golf… to the Olympics… the NFL and NBA or the NHA, this is the prevailing attitude: TRAIN to REIGN. It is very serious business. If you want to be at, or near the top of the field, you simply MUST create an ongoing training mentality.
Millions are at stake. Your credibility is at stake. Your future is at stake. Do this, you WIN.
Turn Your Resolutions into Reality…

By the first week of March, 90% of all resolutions made on New Year’s Day are toast… history… fading fast in the rearview mirror! Maybe you wanted to get fit… change careers… make more money… really up your game.
Leadership is the wise use of power.

This week, we are going to focus on leadership: Achieving better results with, and though others… creating incredible force-multipliers in your life, by creating greater leverage through powerful interpersonal synergy.
Stop Worry Before It Stops You.

This week, we will discuss the meaning and importance of PERSISTENCE to your life. Look closely at the picture above. Yes, there are people out here in Colorado who think hanging off the side of a perfectly good mountain is great fun!
Excellence is the Result of Training and Habituation…

Just to repeat the age-old quote by Aristotle, “Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”
What do you have the right to expect?

“For, he that expects nothing shall not be disappointed, but he that expects much—if he lives and uses that in hand day by day—shall be full to running over.” ~ Edgar Cayce The Key to Living a Life that Matters.Now On Sale. Great quote, isn’t it? Even if it comes from a man who lived […]
You May Have A Vision, But Do You Have A Plan?

All last week I poked and prodded, asking if you truly BELIEVE that you can achieve your most important goals this year? Are you COMMITTED enough? Do you have enough RESOLVE?
Does the WHY within your goals light that inner-fire within you? Do you have the VOLITION, DEDICATION and MOTIVATION to overcome the obstacles, roadblocks and bottlenecks that you will undoubtedly encounter?
Have you set artificial limits for yourself?

This week, we will expand on the WOW GOALS theme, and tackle the “without limits” aspect of this discussion. Sometimes all you need is a change in perspective from what is, and is not possible, to get you moving in the direction of your dreams!
Do you set goals that come directly from your heart?

This week, we will discuss the importance of setting clear and tangible GOALS that are in direct alignment with your Mission—so you can actually LIVE what you VALUE most… each and every day. The best question to ask at this time of the year is…
Fail to Plan… Plan to Fail.

If you are not on track to achieve this year’s WOW GOALS, maybe you should think seriously about how well you make PLANS to support those goals… and how you can improve this critical area of your performance.
What Is Your True Mission?

This week, we will focus on the core of living the life you love: Your sense of purpose and MISSION.
This area of your performance is vitally important because it governs all your GOALS (or lack thereof,) your outlook for the future, your ability to draw the right people to your cause, and your desire to take ACTION.
Creating WOW Power…

Last week we discussed how your Time Quotient spills over into every area of your life: Relationships, Career, Business, Family and of course, you Personally. No question, your TQ is a fundamental building block of success.
Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing.

Study—really study—Today’s Quote.
Now, read it again out loud and scream out the words in all CAPS… as I want you to make an emotional connection with this timeless observation.
Yes… SCREAM out the words AMBITION… WORK… NOT… WIN… WHY… METHODS… PRINCIPLES…TROUBLE.
A positive belief in your future ensures it.

As I said last week, your imagination controls your future.
If you want a highly successful future, nourish your imagination.
This week, we will discuss the power your “belief system” has over your life—and how you can move your hopes and dreams out of your heart and head… and into your life.
Determination, tenacity and commitment will get you where you want to go.

Last week, we talked about ACHIEVEMENT… and specifically what you must do to move your hopes and dreams off the page and into your life.
This week, we will discuss your COMMITMENT to your dreams… having the POWER (we call The Power of TQ) to break free of indifference, hesitancy and procrastination.
Goals are the mile markers by which reality finds its way to your dreams.
This week we are going to cover the importance of setting SMART Goals: Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Tangible. If you don’t have SMART Goals, you don’t really have goals… and living what you value most will remain elusively out of reach.
