Just For Results

Do you have long term projects with short term expectations? If you do, that’s a sure trail to disappointment and failure.

Lifestyle goals like exercise and sensible diet have to become habits so as to work. A career change such as a new job or learning how to earn money at home also takes time and planning, and it does not happen overnight.

Your world has shifted. There’s voice mail, email, pagers, and faxes that have made a waiting period unsatisfactory and virtually obsolete. With info immediately available, we expect relations and goal achievement to be done the same. As you read this you know that it’s irrational to expect that, don’t you? We have been controlled by advertisers to believe that we deserve fast gratification, and that it’s readily and effortlessly available!

When you want to train a puppy dog, you know that it should take time and consistent re-strengthening. You’re ready for that, because you desire your puppy to behave in a satisfactory way. Why then, are you so patient with the puppy and so hard on yourself?

When you plant seeds in the garden, you tend them, water them, hope for daylight and nurture them. Are you nurturing yourself?

The best way to move softly and effectively towards your goals is to take a fair approach. Break your long term project goal into sub-goals. Break it into do-able, short term pieces. Today prepare the soil ; tomorrow plant the seeds.

Each action you take and each step is gratifying because you know it is contributing to the completion of your goal. You cannot rush Mother Nature with your garden, and the same is true for your goals.

This process is way more than “bloom where you are planted”, because when you are the gardener you choose what to plant and how to nurture it. Do the same for yourself, and grow yourself fantastically. Your goals will be accomplished in due time, and you will not finish up up-tight and frazzled.

We are glad that our friend Coach Phil Jackson has decided to return for another season in the NBA coaching the LA Lakers for another title shot. Going for another 3 peat is not an easy goal to accomplish in any sport but with Coach Jackson’s experience, motivational skills and rapport with his team and management he will have a great chance to repeat. Coach Jackson knows how to get maximum performance from his team.

All the best to Coach Jackson on another winning season and continued good health for the entire upcoming season and beyond.

The longest tennis match in history, this is a sports record that will last for a long time. John Isner defeated Nicolas Mahut 70-68 at Wimbledon. There is no doubt that both players were absolute warriors and had the fortitude to battle for over 11 hours in the first round match.

Without knowing they would make history their physical and mental preparation propelled both of them into this amazing feat which has everyone excited about what they witnessed. Their will to compete and win was exceptional and something that each of us should apply to our own life or business. Competition is something that we should embrace because it takes us to a higher level where we experience the most success.

It’s easy to apply the winning characteristics of these amazing warriors into our own lives when we have the training that these athletes use to make history. Maximum Performance makes champions for life, business and sports. Start achieving and go to Maximum Performance.

The road to success always begins with a positive approach. There is no doubt that coaches who were the most successful in winning always took a positive outlook on all their players. Just like sports, people in life or business respond and act positively to coaches or mentors who reinforce the positives and develop the areas where they can improve.

This is a very important key to success that the sports world has mastered and needs to spread among top executives and corporations. It will separate the great executive leaders and revolutionary global corporations from the mediocre.  The basic principle in business and life, to a certain extent, is to be able to compete and win the game of life or business. You have to be a leader who has the abilities to elevate your team based on their performance and give them the tools for success to develop their weaker areas. Master this and you will increase your success.

The positive approach to winning will bring about amazing results in your life, business or sport. Great executives, like winning coaches, bring about the best in their people simply by believing in them and only putting them in positions where they can succeed. Show your people that you care about them and that you know how to lead them. This approach has been a practice that I have used for many years in coaching and motivating some of the world’s highest achievers because it’s proven to work for world champions and the top CEO’s.

Traveling on this road to success works great with kids too.
