Do You Really Know How Powerful you Are?..! What is real power? Is it Brute Force? Money? Influence? Size? Popularity? Your Position? Your Title? The # of People You Lead? ..... etc... All of us have the ability to INSTANTLY change the course of our lives. THAT"S RIGHT... INSTANTLY... What allows us to do that is given to all of us at birth and is with us throughout the rest of our lives. If fact it weighs only about 3 pounds but is responsible for everything that exists in this world and the universe... The 3 pound thing I'm talking about is o...
We've all Seen These Gatorade Commercials with Michael Jordan... but Do You Really Want to Do All That Mike Did To Actually Be Like Mike?!? We all see the end results... the last second, game winning shot... the fame ... the glory ... the trappings of success... BUT do we really want to go through what it takes. What am I talking about? ... I'm talking about Success... How ever YOU define it for yourself. Google successful, accomplished people and read what they did to achieve their success. It may surprise you. What I find when I'm telling au...
"Adopting an acquired pattern of behavior and thought that becomes almost involuntary as a result of frequent repetition". If you read my last post you probably are again wondering "what the heck is he talking about?".... This is a definition of what is absolutely essential to achieving success. It goes "hand in hand" with my previous post on FOCUS. Read on..... If Focusing helps you see and clearly visualize the goal... Then what Stops the Distractions from Robbing you of your focus. I believe that life's Distractions rob us of our focus. In f...
"The action of adjusting the distance between the lens and subject to make light rays converge to form a clear and sharply defined image of the subject". You probably are wondering "what the heck is he talking about?".... This is a definition from photography. Read on..... Well, I get asked all the time by young wrestlers how I achieved success so quickly in wrestling: "I started wrestling in 9th grade and didn't make varsity until 10th grade. The next year in 11th grade I was the state champ beating both the defending state runner-up and state...
Dreaming to Accomplish Something versus Ducking to avoid something... In Life our Actions are Based on either trying to Gain Something or Trying to Avoid Something... That's really what achievement is all about. We all know achieving something can be hard and requires overcoming many obstacles and setbacks. The challenging question for all of us when faced with challenges and hardships is: "Do we continue Dreaming or do we start to "Duck" or avoid the challenges". Ducking to me involves avoidance; hiding; deception; denial; accepting the status...
Although Winning is the Goal You Must Focus on Something else to Really Explode Your Success.... I recently read a short quote about Selling that really stuck with me. It went something like this:"To sell more don't focus on what and how you can sell your customer... But instead focus on what you can do and how you can HELP your customer.By doing that you will solve your customer's problems and flow right into selling them naturally. The best salespeople are Super Problem Solvers.Well I got to thinking about my success in wrestling and lo and b...
There are a Lot of Things Pulling at us for our Attention. Some of Which is Very Subtle... and Some is of Course Shouting for our Attention... We only have a FINITE amount of Attention and FOCUS. We all have a Limited Amount. Have you ever got to a point that you said I can't think any more... I can't focus on another thing!Well, if that happens to you, ask what used up all my Attention and Focus? I know from Experience that I perform better on the things I pay attention to and focus on. PERIOD!YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT...People that have t...
Sometimes You Have to do What you don't like to Achieve What you Want. I get asked a lot what I did to be a successful wrestler and the main thing I say is a lot of what I did I really didn't like. The problem with being successful is most of us have a fuzzy idea what it takes! We all want the end result...the spoils... the victory... the nice house... car... etc. The problem continues with most people only focusing on the part of the process they like. Based on the God given natural abilities you got at birth and the skills you have been able ...
You Must Change Your Thoughts, Keep Your Head Up and Focus your Thoughts on What You Want. This is Easier Said Than Done. What I find with most people that are not achieving what they want (or just plain not happy) is that they keep looking at all the crap they've been through or simply put; the negative outcomes or failures in their life, and that's where their focus is. You've all heard the phrase: "Change your Focus...Change Your Life" The Big Question is HOW DO I CHANGE MY FOCUS??? Well it all starts with producing just ONE DIFFERENT THOUGH...
Life is Like a Wild Tiger.... You can either lie down and let it Lay its paw on your Head.... or...... YOU CAN SIT ON ITS BACK AND RIDE IT!Heard this recently, don't know who the original author is, but it really impacted me in a big way and I wanted to share it.I find in my own life the essence of this quote working. Who hasn't been knocked down by LIFE? ... Nobody! ...We all Have... and Guess What... we will continue to be knocked down...LIFE (or as the wise author of this quote has coined "The Wild Tiger") has dealt us all some hard times an...
