You can be like the 95% or you can play in the rare-air, but you can’t do both.

The world belongs to the visionaries. Women and men who refuse to accept what is because they are so obsessed with what can be. People – like you and me – who refuse to succumb to complacency and ordinary and good enough – when they know great lives just around the next corner. We need more in our club. Let’s find them.

Be Willing to Be Eccentric [the World Belongs to the Visionaries]

The past is a servant and it’s a place to learn from, not a home to live in. ⁣⁣

For you to embrace your next level of world-class, you have to let go of everything you used to be. ⁣⁣

How to Let Go of the Past Forever

Great businesses and world-class lives are not created in a day, but by steady and consistent refinement. So celebrate every win. Because small daily improvements when done consistently over time really do lead to stunning results.

Celebrate the Micro-Wins [and Build-In Rewards] for Sustained Success

In 2021, read, write, strategize and reflect for at least 60 minutes a day. For breakthrough results.

[Please don’t tell me you are too busy to spend at least 60 minutes a day learning. Some of the busiest people I know read or listen to CDs or do online training for at least an hour a day].

A lot of people are too busy being busy. Shift from being busy to getting results.

Success Belongs to the Relentless Learner

If you can’t lead yourself, you can’t lead others. We have no business leading others into greatness if our own personal lives are a trainwreck.

Being successful in the game of life precedes great leadership. Face whatever personal issues you’ve been avoiding head on and clean up on all fronts.

Hope this message helps you build an extraordinary company and an exceptional movement in these uncertain times.

Leader Lead Thyself

"Lucky" is a myth. World-class performance is less about your genetics and more about your habits.

Morning routines and nightly rituals and your nutritional plan and your work habits are the regimes that deliver staggering success. You are built to grow. And you have been designed to adapt. Make the decision to start the new practices that will help you live your genius. And then show it to the world.

World-Class Performance is Less About Your Genetics and More About Your Habits

Most of my life is spent working with teams in companies – helping grow leaders at all levels. I hear so much talk about "our competitors" and "how hard it is to win in these tough times" and that "the market’s shrinking." 

Thinking about your competition is a waste of time and a loss of minutes that you could be using to innovate and arrive at new forms of excellence. Every minute you spend worrying about and benchmarking your peers is a moment you’ve stolen from innovation, building a better team and growing your own brand. 

Now is a superb time to create even more value for your customers and be of acute use to even more people. Work on your professional knowledge and career skills even more. Listen to audiobooks, podcasts and coaching resources so you leap ahead of your previous leadership self. The marketplace demands [and will reward] your mastery as never before. And you’ll be an absolute standout. Which is what I wish for you.

Why You Shouldn't Focus On Your Competition in 2021

Research and science is confirming the power of mirror neurons and the phenomenon of emotional contagion. We become our conversations. And we model our associations.⁣⁣⁣⁣

One of the best things I’ve done in my own life to maximize my creativity and amplify my peace is to delete the energy vampires and release the hope thieves. It’s not easy, yet life’s just too short to hang with people who bring you down.⁣⁣⁣⁣

Encode this Piece of Neuroscience to Improve Your Behavior

In this age of downsizing and cost-cutting, more than ever I suggest it’s mission-critical to enjoy life’s simplest pleasures. The things we used to take for granted when times were great. The activities we’ve overlooked as life became dramatically busy. The pursuits that used to nourish us. And make us happy.

Savour the Simple Pleasures in Life [to Become Fully Human Again]

Scale your craft. Business ALWAYS rewards the best.

This is a splendid time to invest in your professional education and personal development.

Your industry rewards the magic you bring to it. Get better at what you deliver and the world will blaze a path to your door. It really will.

Those producers who rest on their laurels will soon be irrelevant.

Those performers who lift their game, advance their skills and escalate their craft will find they have more business than they can fathom. And a lifestyle they adore.

1 Tactic to Thrive in a Recession

As you leave the crowd in hot pursuit of a rare-air life, you will be misunderstood. Our world was built by people who the masses called ‘weird’.

Living your heroic ambitions and materializing the potential you have sleeping inside of you - especially in these times - isn’t a game for amateurs.

Nope. It’s for the pros.

Each day you step into the place where you work, you have the opportunity to nurture – and awaken – the artist that inhabits you. We all have a core craving to express who we are and to create something special. Part of being human.  Step out into the world each day and create your masterpiece. The world will be better for it.
