There's no Limit to What You Can Do...But to Find Out What You Can Do...You Must First Put It All On The Line...
The reason most people don't put it all on the line is because the very act of putting it on the line exposes any weaknesses and, of course, any strengths.
Putting it on the line means going all out...holding nothing back.
HOW ELSE WILL YOU KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY CAN DO?
HOW ELSE WILL YOU BE ABLE TO MAKE ANY CHANGES BASED ON EXPOSED WEAKNESSES?
You need to know what your strengths are just as you must know what your weakness are.
To win at the highest levels you must know what your strengths and weakness are and you must practice this every day.
Put it all on the line every day.

Message #87 - Want to Improve your Performance...?
Keep a Consistent and Focused Goal Oriented Attitude!
Attitude is defined as "a mental position (or a feeling or emotion) with regard to something".
Most of us are quick to let a negative circumstance change our attitude and feelings about something. This type of attitude, unfortunately, is determined by circumstance and not really focused on a particular goal or outcome.
Therefore when our circumstance changes...so does our attitude. Circumstances change alot...and unfortunately with most of us, so does our attitude.
Example; something happens we don't like...we get a negative attitude about it. This attitude is usually negative, strong and changes our thinking. This type of attitude reacts to the circumstance.
When attitude is determined by the circumstance...Consistent high level performance is impossible.
WE ARE ALWAYS IN THE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT WE ARE IN! So don't fret over your circumstance. Circumstances will always happen. Remember...Bad Stuff Happens, but it doesn't have to negatively impact our ATTITUDE.
Instead Focus your ATTITUDE on a GOAL! A goal that does not change. A goal that you are Passionate about.

Message #86 - Thinking vs Doing....
This is the one thing most of us do too much of...
Most of our time and energy is spent thinking about doing something...rather than doing it!
Thinking about doing something and doing something yields entirely different results.
Thinking is way overrated. Most of us over think things, and as a result never get moving to actually doing the thing(s) we were thinking about.
99% of why we don't accomplish things in life is because we never get to them.
The more we think, the more we talk ourselves out of the thing we want.
In fact the circumstance we find ourselves in reflects back what we were thinking.
Keep your thinking short, direct and to the point!

Message #85 - The Two Brothers...
The Power of DREAMING BIG!
This is a story about two brothers as told by Dr. Rob Gilbert, Co-author with me of the audio CD Series entitled, "The Psychology of Winning Wrestling"
"Two brother went to a motivational lecture on goal setting and after the lecture one of the brothers said – you know why don’t we set income goals for the next year?"
"I’ll write down my goal on an index card and seal it in an envelope and you write down your goal and you won’t tell me, on an index card and put it in an envelope. A year from now we’ll see what happens."
"So one brother writes down $50,000 and seals it in his envelope. His brother doesn't know what he wrote down. The other brother wrote down $1,000,000."
"A year later they get together and the brother that wrote down $50,000 was all excited and opens his envelope and says this stuff works – I made $52,000 – this is the most money I ever made."
"Then nonchalantly the other brother opens his envelope and he said well unfortunately I only made it halfway to my goal."
"So the brother that wrote down $50,000, even though he achieved more than 100% of his goal, made ten times less than the brother who set his goal for $1,000,000..."
So Dr. Rob Gilbert is saying that we should DREAM BIG! That's what I'm talking About!!!

Message #84 - Living Backwards in Time...
Live into Your Dreams!
The first time I heard the phrase "Living Backward in Time" I questioned what it meant. I thought it had something to do with living in the past... something we definitely don't want to do. However once I fully understood what it meant I immediately embraced the concept.
- Start with the Goal you want to attain (which is a future event) visualize and embrace the goal as if you have already attained it... Know that it's yours.
- Once you've visualized and embraced the goal ask yourself "how did I get here?"
- Write down all the things you did to get to your Goal... the training, preparation, studying, discipline, sacrificing etc...
- From that point... "Live Backward in Time" to the present (this is the point you're at right now) doing all the things necessary to make sure the future events unfold the way you envisioned it.
- Each day "TiVo" your life and watch the replay of your past days actions, accessing whether your actions really do align with the things you've outlined in #3 above as the "way you got to your goal."
- TAKE ACTION!
- If your actions of the past day aren't in line with step#3 above (and in turn your goal)... make a CHANGE... CHANGE THE NEXT EPISODE of your upcoming day's actions so that your are always on track!

Message #83 - The Power of Preparation...
There's no Substitute for Being Prepared...Just Ask the 155 Passengers and Crew aboard the commercial US Air flight 1549 that CRASH landed into the Hudson on Jan 19, 2009.... 
Captain Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger was piloting the plane and is largely credited for safely "crash" landing the plane into the Hudson, with NO CASUALTIES! That's astonishing folks!
Can you imagine the gratitude each and every passenger and crew member felt when they were finally safe on the ground, or should I say in the water...ALIVE!!! CLICK HERE to read the story.

When you read the level of experience Captain "Sully" has you begin to understand how he pulled this impressive feat off.
This is what we all should be striving for...Perfection of Execution! More importantly; Perfect Execution in the face of "less that perfect conditions". Crappy conditions...Holy SH#T conditions...You get what I mean. His focus must have been incredible...no time to think about it...only action.
This is where all the training and experience PAYS OFF. This is where and when one can only act based on their prior training and preparation.
Captain "Sully" could not have performed at the level he did without the countless hours of preparation...not knowing that one day he would save the lives of 154 others, not to mention his own. Captain "Sully" can fly any plan that I'm on, any time!!!
ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THE CHALLENGE THAT WILL FACE YOU ONE DAY.

Message #82 - To be Great You Can Never Lose Your Passion...
We all Have Set Backs...Challenges...and yes sometimes Failures...
It is said this farmer boy could not read nor write, failed and went broke five times. His company has survived 8 Recessions, 1 Oil Crisis and 1 Great Depression. ( Ford Motor will make it through this) .
He was not allowed to wait on customers when he worked in a dry goods store because, his boss said, "he didn't have enough sense." (FW Woolworth was founded during the Long Depression that lasted 23 year with a loan of $300 and in 2001 changed its name to Footlocker).
Fired by his newspaper editor who said, "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." He went bankrupt several times before he built the largest entertainment company in the world. (Walt Disney's creations have since survived 1 Great Depression and 7 Recessions.)
