A cast-iron will is the only way!
Monday, June 23rd, 2008

As you Think Like A Champion with newly created Champion Statements and Success Strategies the result is a new reality including determination and deadlines.

5. Determined - You could have absolutely nothing else going for except desire and you could still achieve the most astonishing things in life. No education, no contacts, no looks, no bloodlines, no talent to speak of… just determination to succeed no matter what. History books are filled with amazing stories of people who had nothing except a cast-iron will to win and so they did.

That is why your mind will be infused with new, powerful beliefs that you will do whatever it takes to reach your major ambitions in life until you take your last breath. Whatever you want, in each area of your life, you will go and go and go until you succeed.

And then you will reach for more as a member of the Think Like A Champion Club.

The inner mental patterns of the most accomplished people… people you watch and read about, people who create, people who lead and win, people who you admire and want to be like. And now, with the help of Get Mentally Tough - Your Inspiration From Within!, people like you.

6. Deadlines - The difference between most “home study” courses and schools where you actually attend classes is that the traditional schools have success rates between 4 and 10 times greater than the “go at your own pace” approach. That is also the difference between goal oriented superstars and most everyone else…

…they give themselves deadlines - dates that they must achieve their outcomes by. Dates “set in stone.”

That is why the “Get Mentally Tough - Your Inspiration Within” series comes with your very own Champion Action worksheets to fill you with the attitude that deadlines are a good thing. A great thing. A priceless tool in your goal achieving arsenal. If deadlines only stress you out now, that will soon change.

Soon you will grow to love them, to look forward to them to practically live for them. Won’t that be a pleasant change?

Have you ever seen a Champion stand on the dais to accept their gold medal with slouched shoulders and disappointment written all over their face?

No of course not! Why? Welcome to the next reality Success Strategy

4. Achiever - The single biggest reason that people don’t achieve individual goals throughout their lifetimes is that their self image does not match the image of a person who does possesses the goal or who has the qualities to reach and keep the goal.

For example, when someone wants to increase their income from $30,000 per year to $60,000, in order to reach it and maintain it, it is critical that their self image is that of a $60,000 per year worker. They absolutely must feel capable and worthy of this amount of money, not logically, but emotionally. This is not only the most important mental pattern, it’s also the most difficult one to change.

If you have ever achieved a long-term goal and after a period of time went back to your old ways, it’s primarily because your self-image never changed… you still saw yourself as a person who did not have what it took to maintain the new set of Champion habits.

That’s why in the “Get Mentally Tough - Your Inspiration Within” monthly interviews available to Think Like A Champion Club members, you will hear and learn dozens of re-patterning statements designed to elevate your self-image to that of a Champion, a winner in all areas of life, a person who gets what they want, deserves to get it and who feels great joy on all levels while getting it.

When this “Champion Achiever Image” switch gets flipped all the way “On”; you will see it in you, you will feel it within you and there is practically nothing that can stop you from accomplishing anything you desire.

Check out these Champions you have access to learning from; their successful self-images, self-talk, Champion Statements and Success Strategies… and as they share the mistakes, you learn from them so you don’t have to make them.

Just imagine eradicating the old pensioner/I’m always broke mindset into a Millionaire Mindset…what would that Millionaire Mindset self-image look like? What would that Millionaire Mindset self-talk sound like? What will that Millionaire Mindset create as you walk-talk and think like a Millionaire?

Stop and Think…Would You Trust You?
Monday, June 23rd, 2008

In our previous blog on Goal Achievement we established that successful people who have achieved their goals ooze self belief, have created Champion Statements and installed Success Strategies.

We covered new realities Number 1 & 2; today we look at No. 3…

3. Honesty - Today as always, it’s hard to put a price on trust. Because there are so many people just waiting to get one over on “the other guy,” it’s hard to know who to trust. But because working with others in some capacity is so central to achieving great things, if you can develop and maintain a rock-solid reputation as an “honest to the core” person whose primary concern is developing win-win relationships, then you’ve got a huge advantage over just about everyone.

When you believe in the Champion within YOU… you are as credible as can be, as concerned with your relationships as anything else and worthy of enormous trust. And when that becomes what you believe to your core, it will come out in your words, you will multiply your ability to persuade others and achieving your goals will give you more joy than ever before.

STOP and THINK:
1. What impression do you leave in your wake? In your day?
2. What do you want to be remembered for with your partner and your family?
3. What do you want to be remembered for with your customers? With your team?
4. What do people say when they think about you and your team?
5. What are the qualities that stand out about your team? And you?
6. What are your trademarks?
7. Are the things that people see and/or feel about you, your small business, your staff, your team;
the same things you set out for them to see and/or feel?
8. Are the perceived external trademarks the same as the purposely-created internal ones?
9. What do you and your company/organisation do that makes it easier for your
clients/customers/colleagues to do business with you?
10.How do you make serving people with a difference your business?

“Our goal for you as a member of the Think Like A Champion Club is to make serving you with a difference our business.” Shelley Taylor-Smith

SELF BELIEF and A NEW REALITY

Ask any one who has succeeded and they will tell you: “When I believed…I achieved!”

So it should come as no surprise that if you lack self belief and have a poor self image you will need to embrace a new reality. A reality that, currently, you may not be able to fathom.

The most effective, big-thinking goal achievers in all fields of endeavour and in all walks of life; say and think differently than most of society. I can relate. I have been told on many occasions that I think differently and I am unique.

This feedback used to puzzle me no end….until I studied myself. If I could beat the blokes way out there around Manhattan Island time and time again then she must be doing something right… thinking right…. visualising right….. repeating self talk statements right! She must possess Champion Success Strategies that were serving her purpose very well that supported her achieving 7-time Women’s World No.1 Rankings 1988-1995.

You need to understand that the opposite is true as well. And when I studied NLP (neuro linguistic programming) this was like one of those epiphanies; a ah-ha moment when I realised that I had strategies (behavioural patterns) that did not serve my purpose and explained why I did not achieve as well in other areas of my life. Has this happened to you? It was comforting to know this is “normal behaviour” and even more so when I learned that these patterns could be released, eradicated and discarded from my behaviour.

When you release the old patterns and statements that hold you back; what I call “internal roadblocks” and instal a new pattern “Champion Success Statements” this makes way for a new outlook; one that is brightened with positive, empowering beliefs and attitudes that run through the minds of the most accomplished people. Just like the axe that fells the tree on the thousandth swipe, these Champion Confidence statements will ultimately instal in you these realities:

1. Action - Failures hide from their responsibilities, they don’t set goals, they don’t plan ahead, they don’t anticipate problems and get blindsided by them, they make the wrong decisions routinely, they procrastinate, they waste time in all variety of “IN-activities.” They may be “busy,” but little or nothing “important” gets done. If this describes you up till now, don’t hang your head.

2. Learning - Reaching for and achieving truly big things in life requires not just action, but knowledge - often very specific knowledge. Not knowing what to do or how to do it is a core ingredient in the recipe for failure.

Most people fail not because they don’t know what to do today, but because they don’t go learn what to do tomorrow. It’s so sad because the “how-to” is everywhere and much of it these days is FREE. So there is no excuse to fail at anything because of lack of information. But the average person “sees” learning (getting knowledge) as painful drudgery, as boring, as a cruel kind of punishment.

That is why one of the primary patterns created and installed within the Champion YOU is a passion for learning everything you can toward the realisation of your dreams. A undeniable quench and thirst to know more…learn more! Knowledge alone is only potential power.

But the right knowledge combined with laser-focused action can attract practically anything and anyone you want into your life. That’s why hands-on experience is such a valued commodity in this world. And through the Think Like A Champion Club, your love of learning will grow and grow.

And so will your self-respect, your skills, your opportunities and your accomplishments.

More new realities to follow and until then…

Go for gold!
