It Has To Hurt I needn’t remind you that you didn’t set out to achieve something ordinary. You set out to accomplish something extraordinary. Therefore it is going to require an extraordinary effort.

Excellent Post - Thank you Mr. Dan Prado!
Today's message is one I'm so happy to share. I have my former wrestling coaches to thank for instilling in me and my teammates this practice of thinking. Thank you Clyde Forrest, Bob Ericson, and Armand Brett.
It's my hope that you will see how capable you are of bringing dreams to reality!
From my past experiences in sports and business, I have come to the conclusion that those who achieve higher levels of success practice the "Mindset of a Champion".
They see themselves performing at the highest levels possible. They VISUALIZE the accomplishment of the goal before they take action. They see themselves with the Medal around their neck, or the Contract finalized and Commission check deposited. They come to realize that the greatest treasure comes from WHAT they had to become in the process of achieving their goal(s).They clearly understand, without CHANGE there is no growth.
Quick five points on how Champions think.
1. Clear understanding of WHY they want it.
2. Overcome FEAR factor through Disciplined Action.
3. Staying in the MOMENT through 100% concentration.
4. Personal responsibility for OUTCOME. No excuses.
5. Ability to bounce back from FAILURE. Defeat does not define them.
In his book titled , The Little Book of Talent, author Daniel Coyle states " Seek out ways to stretch yourself. Play on the edges of your competence. As Albert Einstein said ,
" One must develop an instinct for what one can just barely achieve through one's greatest efforts. "
The key word is BARELY. Ask yourself: If you tried your absolute hardest, what could you ALMOST do? Mark the boundary of your current ability and aim a little beyond it. That's your spot.
Until next time. Keep on winning!
