Mindset

Think about the times when you’ve performed at your absolute best. The times when your focus and clarity were so intense that you knew exactly what to do from one moment to the next. The instances where you were your most productive, creative and powerful self. Athletes call it “the zone” but it’s also known as the flow state.

Imagine what it would do for your business, training, success,… continue reading.

If you’re lucky you have one or two great mentors, teachers or coaches who change your life forever. I’ve been fortunate enough to have a handful of them. But, perhaps none have been as impactful as my great friend, Alwyn Cosgrove. Alwyn grew up poor in Glasgow, Scotland.

He later became a strength coach and moved to the US, which is how we met at a training workshop in 1996. For the 20 years since he’s been one… continue reading.

Everybody has fears. They cause us anxiety and keep us awake at night. Most of these fears are imagined. They aren’t real. Mark Twain said, “I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.” Those who succeed in life and find happiness are those who can overcome their fears.  They can separate real from imagined. They face the fear and move forward. Those who cannot will remain stagnant, frustrated and crippled. This is not the life you want. In this episode, I sit down with the author of Life Unlocked, and… continue reading.

People hate mornings. They spend the first hour of the day hitting the snooze button, whining, pissing, moaning, and dreading the day ahead. You can choose to let your morning be like that, and walk around like a human raisin, shriveled up and empty of any inspiration, presence, and purpose. Or you can rise above the masses of mediocrity and take ownership over that first hour. You can choose to put yourself in the mindset to dominate, kick ass, and make the world around you better. You… continue reading.

As a kid I had zero self-confidence or communication skills. I was super shy and socially awkward. I never thought I was good enough. I doubted myself constantly. I was scared of my own shadow and constantly lived in fear. This lasted for more than half my life, well into my late twenties and early thirties. Then I realized something had to change. Epictetus, the great stoic philosopher, asked, “How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be?” For me, the answer was, “Not one second longer.” So I set out on a mission to… continue reading.
