Optimism isn’t cheesy or soft or boring. Nope. It’s a mission-critical tool for anyone devoted to getting to their best. Every day brings challenges to those who dare/risk/push the envelope. Being the most optimistic person in the room will help you transcend them to your next level of greatness.

The Anti-Pessimist Rule of Iconic Visionaries

I’m all about the construction of “Tight-Bubbles of Total Focus” on certain days of the week. On these days, I get lost from the world, go dark and focus monomaniacally on the few projects that will count the most.

When I work, devices are off, no one can reach me and I vanish completely. I retreat to a series of beautiful, light-filled, mess-free sanctuaries where my brain can then drop into “transient hypofrontality”. That’s the scientific term brain researchers use for when your mind waves slow down, a pharmacy of mastery is created within you and the pre-frontal cortex–the brain area where your noisy self-critic lives–becomes silent. Also priceless.

This condition–which you have the power to create under the right environment–is often called “Flow”. It’s the state where your natural genius shows up. Time slows down. You see solutions that were un-evident before. We all have this ability. But with the TV on, the notifications sounding and the distractions happening, only those with an acute understanding of the importance of installing world-class conditions get to capture this state where the creative giants play.

How to Leverage the Neurobiological Phenomenon of Transient Hypofrontality to Lead Your Field

Being laughed at or criticized or misunderstood is the price of leaving the herd and producing your magic.

Anything original will disrupt the normal. And so those who feel threatened will find it easier to throw stones at you than send appreciation to you.

It’s easier to shoot the messenger than embrace a revolutionary message, isn’t it?

Misunderstood is the Price Ambition Pays to Become Legendary

Groundbreaking research on elite performance and ultra-achievement has confirmed that keeping a journal on a regular basis boosts mental focus, increases self-confidence, elevates your mental attitude and increases the levels of happiness that you feel.

It’s a fine place to record your gratitude, process through pain, note your victories and reclaim your most luminous self in hard times.

Copying what your competition is doing just leads to being second best.

Only leaders who are willing to think differently can out-innovate everyone around them. Thinking the same thoughts produces the same results. Leadership is all about being The Brave Creative out in front in your marketspace (and your career) versus doing things the way everyone else does them.

Business doesn’t need more copycats. Business needs more Dreamers.

If You're Copying Others, You're Betraying Yourself

Everyone is doing the best they can, based on where they are at on their human journey. Their criticism is awesome soil within which to grow your faith in yourself. And your ironclad trust in your finest instincts. Bless them rather than cursing them. For they are helping your rise.⁣⁣
