It is also the parent, teacher and coach who wants their children and students to reach their full potential.

It’s the leader or entrepreneur who wants to create a culture that inspires excellence, passion, and innovation.

It’s the artist who wants to create a true work of art that moves everyone who comes in contact with it.

It’s everyone who strives to excel on their own terms, to set and realize personal goals and achieve their own defining moment of greatness.

That’s the reason why I created the “100 Day Challenge”, a powerful program designed to inspire anyone who wants to achieve their own moment of greatness, and who truly wants to be the best they can be.

To those who are overwhelmed by the prospect of what is required to reach their goals and truly find their greatness, my advice is this…

Be better today than you were yesterday, as each day of your life provides you with an endless number of opportunities to demonstrate commitment, character, focus, integrity, initiative, creativity, perseverance and a host of other noble virtues to showcase your greatness.

I imagine before he broke world records, Michael Phelps started his Olympic career swimming the length of a pool. And before she won gold medals in both the individual and team all-around competitions, Gabby Douglas did her share of handstands in her family living room. Their greatness was born by a consistent daily desire to improve.

You can’t lose 25 pounds before you lose five. You can’t run a marathon before you run a mile. You can’t achieve your goals and become great at anything before you choose to become great. It’s one day of making good decisions and executing on those decisions… followed by another.

The key factors for success and finding your greatness will always involve setting challenging goals, enjoying the thrill of the chase, and reaching those goals through discipline, consistency, and perseverance.

Greatness has no fixed address but is a place where each one of us can achieve our own personal success and shape our own definition.

Greatness isn’t reserved for the chosen few, but it is reserved for the few who CHOOSE to find their greatness.

A new day has unfolded, choose to make the world a better place, choose to be great!

WHAT TO DO NOW? Share your two-cents worth on the importance of Finding Your Greatness and by all means, check out the 100 Day Challenge.

It will hurt.

It will take time.

It will demand willpower.

It will require dedication.

It will scream for sacrifice.

There will be temptation to quit.

At times, you’ll want to throw in the towel.

But, I promise you…

When you do reach your goal…

The pleasure will far exceed the pain…

It will be worth every once of blood, sweat and tears…

And you’ll make yourself proud.

In a world filled with so much regret…

We should all…

Elevate our game…

Dream big dreams and…

Focus on doing whatever it takes to achieve our goals…

The 100 Day Challenge shows you how.

WHAT TO DO NOW? Share your impressions on this post and participate in the 100 Day Challenge.

Allow me to provide you with a beautiful example of Carpe Diem and the importance of asking your way to success.

Billy Joel recently held “An Evening of Questions and Answers and a Little Bit of Music” at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.

During the session, student Michael Pollack, a Long Island native, asked clearly, confidently and boldly if he could accompany Billy on piano and perform “New York State Of Mind.”

Billy said “YES”, and here is the complete video of their magical performance together.

I believe that if you only knew what you were not receiving, nor enjoying because you were not asking boldly and directly for what you want, that you would surely change our behavior.

By not asking for what you want, you unfortunately put yourself in a position to stop receiving help because you don’t ask for it.

As a result…

…your progress becomes halted.

…your dreams begin to evaporate.

…your happiness is stunted.

This is completely unnecessary, and as soon as you begin the 100 Day Challenge, life as you know it will change as you’re going to learn how to unleash a
performance explosion that will dramatically change everything about your life and future.

Perhaps that’s why, as the final seconds of this year tick away, we become introspective. Inevitably, that introspection turns to thoughts of self-improvement and the annual ritual of making New Year’s Resolutions.

New Year’s Resolutions offer you the first and perhaps the most important opportunity for remaking yourself. As with any opportunity, you have an obligation to capitalize on it and begin the year enjoying the sweetness of success, rather than experiencing and reinforcing the bitter taste of failure and disappointment.

Failure, disappointment, quitting, making excuses, and blame are not admirable qualities, and you should never allow yourself to be associated with such behaviors. Unfortunately that’s exactly how the majority of people will begin the New Year.

The good news is that it does not have to be that way, and I’d like to show you how by introducing you to…

THE RULE OF ONE

The Rule of One is actually very simple: Instead of starting the New Year with a long list of resolutions which quickly fade from memory, make the decision to focus on the one resolution that would make the greatest impact on your life, career, or family.

Contrary to the lyrics from a classic rock song, one is not the loneliest number. It’s the most important one, especially when it comes to your success.

Why only one resolution?

SIMPLICITY

ONE resolution is a smart, radical act of simplicity which requires nothing more than good old-fashioned common sense. Simplifying your New Year strategy to just one resolution is powerful in that it creates a sense of relief, and freedom from complexity, and overwhelm.

FOCUS

ONE resolution is perhaps the savviest move you can make when it comes to focus.  Focusing on the highest and best use of your time, talents and passions involves making choices and trade-offs, identifying priorities, as well as determining and aligning actions with core values.

CONTROL

One resolution is the perfect solution to the biggest problem faced by most people — accountability.  Accountability serves to protect your character as well as your credibility, and by reducing the number of resolutions to one, you remove complexity and overwhelm, and replace it with confidence and control.

Whether it’s going back to school, starting a business, becoming debt free, or even writing a book, there is no singular goal that you can’t accomplish this year. That is the magic behind the Rule of One.

Decision Time

Use the Rule of One to identify the one resolution that inspires passion, captivates your attention, and which would make the greatest impact on your life, career, or family.

I Resolve to______________________________________________________________

Now that you understand the Rule of One and have identified your one resolution for the New Year, our focus must now turn to the importance of execution.

Ready, Set, Execute

A flawed premise of success is that “the one resolution” is the most important ingredient in the stew of success, and that you win or lose based on the merits or worthiness of the resolution.

How wrong and casualty-creating that premise is as the best goal or most passionate resolution cannot survive poor execution.

You must remember that resolutions never fail—only implementation does!

So, how do you execute well and best position yourself for starting the New Year fast, focused and fired up?

Say hello to the…

100 Day Challenge

The 100 Day Challenge is a hardcore goal setting program that is responsible for turning your primary resolution and goals into reality faster and easier than you ever thought possible.

As mentioned previously, the New Year provides you a one-shot window-of-opportunity to blast out of the gate fast and as with any opportunity, you have an obligation to capitalize on it and get a jump-start on making this the best year of your life.

The importance of how you execute the first 100 days of the year cannot be overstated.

If you have a successful first 100 days, it naturally follows that you are building momentum and setting yourself up for a successful year. This approach is smart business and quickly becomes a devastating competitive advantage.

So you may be asking yourself why participate in the 100 Day Challenge?

On a global scale, there is a chronic disconnect between goal formulation and execution. The goals and resolutions that companies and people set for themselves at the beginning of the year often bear little resemblance to the results they actually achieve.

The root cause of this disconnect is that most of us do not have a proven and sustainable execution process in place. The 100 Day Challenge is the ideal solution as it’s all about strategy execution.

Through this revolutionary extreme performance acceleration program, you will learn:

• How to transform your life by implementing the Rule of One.
• How to execute flawlessly and enjoy greater levels of productivity.
• How to eliminate performance and time-draining activities.
• How to get more done in 100 days than most people do over the course of 10 years.

Success as well all know is a journey, a maze of obstacles, options, and opportunities along with failure, ambiguity, and do-overs.

The success you enjoy in the New Year depends upon many things, but mostly it depends on you and your ability to implement the Rule of One, and to execute until the resolution is achieved.

That is why the ONE decision you must make today is to say YES, I’m ready for a challenge, and sign up for the 100 Day Challenge!

WHAT TO DO NOW? Share your two cents worth on the Rule of One and by all means check out the 100 Day Challenge before enrollment closes.

Which can predict your success for LIFE.

Are you moving forward every day, or falling backward?

You see, you can only move forward OR backward.

There is no standing still.

There is no staying the same.

Everything you do either…

compliments or comprises

impresses or disappoints

builds up or tears down

turns on or turns off

adds or subtracts

nothing is neutral.

Everything you think, say and do has a direction, which moves you one step closer to, or one step further from your goals.

That means if you’re not gaining ground…

You’re losing ground.

Want to make sure you’re always gaining ground?

Take the 100 Day Challenge!

Man of La Mancha rocked Broadway in 1966 with its thundering theme song, THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM.

You remember that song, don’t you?

It opens in soft reflection, “To dream the impossible dream… To fight the unbeatable foe…” but then it defies mortal gravity to rise heavenward on a column of fury like an old Apollo rocket.

This is my Quest: to follow that star!
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far!
To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause!
And I know, if I’ll only be true
To this glorious Quest,
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I’m laid to my rest…

Wise Men follow a star when they believe the destination will be worth the journey.

Time and money: you can always save one by spending more of the other.

But money can be replaced and time cannot.

We spend the hours of our lives like a pocketful of pennies, one by one until they are gone.

What are you buying with yours?

Can you name your current journey?

Are you pursuing your impossible dream?

You can call it your 5-year plan, your business plan, your goal, your mission.

You can dress it up with numerals and call it a pro forma or wrap it in legalese and call it a prospectus.

All that really matters is that you understand your time, your energy, indeed the hours of your life are being spent in the pursuit of something.

“And I know, if I’ll only be true to this glorious Quest, that my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I’m laid to my rest…”

Wait a minute… are we talking about business goals, life goals, or the Broadway musical of 1966?

Yes, yes, and yes; we are talking about those.

That’s the thing about an archetypal story. Its message will echo through different actors dressed in different costumes but the play never changes:

Each of us follows a star. How clearly can you see yours?

By now, you are well aware that I am committed to helping individuals and organizations achieve the things they have committed to do.

You choose the star. My job is to get you there.

Polaris is know as the North Star and it has served as a navigational tool for millennia because unlike other stars, its position NEVER changes.

Can you name the star that beckons you?

If you’ll allow me, I’d like to help you achieve your impossible dream.

I’ve put together a life changing program called the 100 Day Challenge that is making dreams come true for people all over the world.

Please understand that this program is not for whiners, thumb suckers, posers, devil’s advocates, nitpickers, hand-wringers, crybabies, complainers, chicken-hearts or fools.

But it is definitely the program for you, that is, if you are ready to make that dream come true.

Come and join us as the next chapter of your adventure is about to begin!

Let’s take a moment and examine both sides of this conversation.

The metaphor of feeding someone and that sufficing to get them through one day, and one day alone shows that people can ONLY be helped so far.

No matter how you slice it, this is a restrictive, demeaning, and highly manipulating mindset that is fueled by a poverty mentality.

Now, I’m aware that there are a lot of well intended people out their who want to help, however intentions are better focused on “helping people help themselves!”

If all we do is help people and do things for them all the time, then they rely on us, which is not only unhealthy for their development of skills, it also makes them psychologically weak, confidence deprived, and quite literally puts their very future at risk.

The principle whereby we rely totally on the support, guidance, handout, and even nurturing of someone else, for too long a period, is typical of far too many governments, families and institutions.

To build a rich, powerful, purposeful and sustainable business, family or society, this “give a man a fish” nonsense has to stop!

Let’s look at the flip side, where we ‘teach a man to fish’.

Not only does the man become self-sufficient and becomes able to survive without being provided for, but he has a sense of achievement and fulfillment which is priceless.

How good does an angler feel as he pulls a fish from the water?

Much better than when one is placed generously in front of him, merely to eat.

Sure it may be good, for a while, to be provided for, but human psyche is bigger than that in a healthy human being.

People need to be valued for who they are and what they are capable of achieving.

We help them best, when we ‘teach them HOW to fish’.

By teaching people life, money, and self-management skills, we validate them for who they are and the contribution they are able to make.

By exposing them to best practices and challenging them to demonstrate a strong work ethic, their confidence grows as does their contribution back to society.

They know they are useful and valued and with this confidence they do more. They learn that to stretch themselves is good. That they have within themselves untapped resources which show off the potential they have always had, now released.

Indeed ‘teaching them to fish’ realizes not just the material potential they have, but catalyses even bigger capabilities in them. Their development muscle has been stretched and exercised, so it becomes bigger and more capable.

If you’d like to learn “how to fish”, then check out the 100 Day Challenge. It’s truly a game changing experience!

The goal of the batter is to hit the baseball.

This is why every kid who holds a bat is told, “Don’t take your eye off the ball.”

Later, when endurance is needed, we say, “Keep your eye on the prize.”

• Can you name the ball you’re trying to hit?
• Can you name the prize?

As a consultant and highly paid coach, I can tell you without equivocation the question that is the hardest for the average person to answer…is…

“What are you trying to make happen?”

With death hanging in the balance, mountain climbers turn this question into the imperative command: “Don’t Look Where You Don’t Want to Go.”

The first step in any journey is to SEE your destination.

Your mind is an amazing thing, crammed with invisible and unknown mechanisms that move you unconsciously toward whatever future you believe to be real.

What future do you believe to be real?

Do you have the audacity to believe in a happy ending?

Do you have the courage to move toward that ending with every action you take?

Persons who are frightened, angry or bitter will see this and call you “foolish.”

Sadly, this will be most people.

Your choices and your actions are merely reflections of what you see in your mind.

What do you see?

The first step toward accomplishing a thing is to project it onto the visual sketchpad of your mind.

You may have heard this referenced as “seeing it in your mind’s eye.”

You can do only what you have first imagined.

What do you imagine?

In my world, each of us is swimming in opportunity and everything is possible.

I see opportunity all around you. You can see it too, can’t you?

My highest wish is that you should have a crystal clear vision of what you are trying to make happen, and I’d like to show you how by introducing you to a very special program called the 100 Day Challenge.

Check it out and you’ll learn how to get everything you want in life, faster and easier than you ever thought possible by unleashing the power of your mind’s eye!

WHAT TO DO NOW? Share your experience with creative imagination and how it has positively impacted your life.

#2. Speed Is Sexy – Speed is the ultimate customer turn-on. Everyone is short on time. We all dislike delays, long lines, out-of-stocks, and waiting on hold. However, we love finding what we want, and getting back to work (or play) fast. And we’ll always be willing to pay for speed.

#3. Speed Is Impossible to Ignore – Speed brings with it a reputation of confidence, clarity of purpose, and execution. Once you become known for speed, both people and opportunities will seek you out.

#4. Speed Trumps Size – In today’s world, the old rules no longer apply. It’s not the big that eats the small, it’s the fast that eats the slow. It’s the one competitive advantage that the big competition can’t duplicate easily.

If you want a thing bad enough,

To go out and fight for it,

Work day and night for it,

Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it.

If only desire of it, makes you quite mad enough, never to tire of it,

Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it,

If life seems all empty and useless without it,

And all that you dream and you scheme is about it,

If gladly you’ll sweat for it, fret for it, plan for it,

Lose all terror of nature and man for it,

If you’ll simply go after that thing that you want,

With all your capacity, strength and sagacity,

Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinency,

If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,

Nor sickness nor pain, of body or brain,

Can turn you away from that thing you want,

If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,

Then as sure as you live, you’ll finally get it!

In fact, many see them as being one and the same, so let me explain the delusional nature of that belief.

Good intentions while honorable:

• will not put food on the table,
• will not win any sales contests,
• will not allow you to improve in any way.

The one skill you must develop and master is your ability to generate results consistently.

Why? Results are everything!

• Your results are a reflection of what you believe to be true about yourself.
• Your results tell the world that you are a committed professional.
• Your results tell the world that you are competent and capable.
• Your results tell the world that character defines your actions.
• Your results tell the world what you are really made of.

The Solution

If you want new results, if you are tired of settling for table scraps then take the 100 Day Challenge and you’ll learn how to become an unstoppable powerhouse!

Antiphon, an orator who wrote speeches for defendants in court cases, recorded the earliest known version of the saying in ‘Maxim’ (c. 430 BC) as ‘The most costly outlay is time.’

With that in mind, there are there are three things you should know about time:


#1 – Time is the most democratically distributed resource that exists.

Think about it, every person has exactly the same amount of time available, no matter whether he or she is powerful or poor, enterprising or idle, bright or ignorant.

#2 – Time is an unrecoverable resource.

Unlike other resources, what makes time truly unique is that it cannot be bought or sold, borrowed or stolen, stocked up or saved, manufactured, reproduced, or modified.

ALL we can do is make use of it, and whether we use it wisely or not, it nevertheless goes on with or without us.

#3 – Time is far more valuable than money.

While you can always earn more money, you simply cannot obtain more time.

Yet, the vast majority of us tend to think much more about the use of our money, which is a renewable resource, than we do about our time which is nonrenewable and far more precious.

So, if time is money, how much is your time really worth?

Watch this video and you?ll learn the answer to that question as well receive a powerful wake up call about taking massive action on your most important goals.

You must also remember that time is your most precious resource, because:

• It is the only one that is truly scarce.

• You never know when it will run out.

Therefore use it wisely to build something wonderful with the little amount you are given.

If not…I suggest that you keep reading as I want to share something with you…

I want to share something that for some….it will be motivating…

For others it will be liberating…

And for a good portion of you…it will be downright irritating…

Often I have found that the truth does that to people.

Here goes…

Desire is NOT a strong enough reason or emotion for you to make changes in your life.

Don’t believe me…huh?

If it was, if you really wanted to make significant and lasting change, you would ALREADY be skinny, happy and rich beyond your wildest dreams.

This brings up the critical question, if desire is not a strong enough emotion to get you to successfully achieve your goals, than what is?

The answer is…

PAIN

The greatest catalyst for an undisciplined person is pain, and pain comes in many forms.

Physical or psychological pain is often the catalyst for becoming self-disciplined when it comes to exercise and healthy eating.

Financial pain such as burdening debt can be the catalyst for having the self-discipline to work when you’re tired or sick, or when you’d rather be out having fun.

Marital or relationship pain that comes from a lost love can give you the self-discipline to be a better partner when love comes your way again.

Do I really need to continue?

Pain of any type is a powerful, empowering motivational factor in the change and goal achieving process.

If you are experiencing any of the following forms of pain,

• Pain of debt.
• Pain of foreclosure.
• Pain of a lost love.
• Pain of lost years.
• Pain of lost opportunity.
• Pain of obesity.
• Pain of high blood pressure.
• Pain of decreasing sales and profits
• Pain of lost customers.
• Pain of an undesirable future…

Than I have a solution for you that will take AWAY THE PAIN.

It’s called the 100 Day Challenge and in just five minutes from now…

You can be on your way to a completely improved life – one that, until now you could only dream of!

The guiding principle that should drive your every decision throughout your life is the law of focus.

With it you succeed, without it you fail.

WHY? It’s actually very simple as everything you think, say and do is taking you closer to or further away from it, therefore it must be your key decision making criteria.

Focus is simply a goal, a picture in your minds eye of something you want to be, have or do.

It captivates your attention and provokes an irresistible sense of optimism and faith for the future.

Your focus is usually spelled in capital letters and neon lights.

It’s the equivalent of Moby Dick in a goldfish bowl,  just too powerful to ignore!

There’s only 24 hours in a day, that’s a given. But it’s how you focus them that really counts.

Between the ringing of the phone, urgent emails, instant messages, drop-in visitors, tighter deadlines, endless opportunities, and ever greater expectations, focusing on what’s most important – the highest and best use of your time has become more of a challenge than ever before.

With all the distractions that abound on a daily basis, you can lose focus rather easily and be pulled off course routinely.

Every new opportunity is a contestant for time and focus that once lost creates collateral damage to existing results and momentum.

Focus is a preemptive strike against mediocrity and when you focus your efforts, you create a powerful force of goal directed energy. It is this energy that produces sustainable results that can dramatically change your life.

That is the purpose of focus and that is one of the primary reasons why you should participate in the 100 Day Challenge.

Focus serves as an absolute precondition for every success you will experience. And of all the activities you must cram into your busy schedule, managing your focus is the one you can least afford to overlook.

What are you thoughts on the importance on focus and what you can to turn it into a competitive advantage? I’d be interested to hear from you!

Check out this video to see how this story plays out.

If you want to learn how to alter your mental programming, to walk down a different street and design a bigger, bolder, and better life than be sure to participate in the 100 Day Challenge which is open for enrollment for only a limited time.

The answer is, some men succeed because the cheerfully pay the price of success while others, though they claim ambition, are unwilling to pay that price.

In this post, I want to introduce you to an important truth on your path to success, “Choose Your Suffering”.

Everything you want in life, every goal you want to achieve, every dream you want to manifest comes with a price tag.

There is NO FREE LUNCH when it comes to true success and achievement.

To achieve any goal, you must choose the suffering that’s right for you, you must accept that reality, you must embrace that truth, and then you must live with it every day of your life.

Throughout the 100 Day Challenge, you will be reminded to pay the price of success each day and you will be astounded by the results that you are able to generate.

For some it could be a goal that puts you to the test, an obstacle that says you can’t beat me, a belief system that is begging for a breakthrough, or even a mountain that just dares you to climb it.

Whatever it is, you’re attitude should be BRING IT ON, as there’s nothing quite like a good old fashioned challenge to see what you’re made of, to push the boundaries and tests your limits as it is ONLY when we overcome these trials that we get to reap the sweetest rewards.

During the past few years, I have been working on what I believe to be the most comprehensive approach to goal setting and performance enhancement.

The 100 Day Challenge is a structured 14-week performance improvement program where challengers compete against themselves to achieve a number of challenging goals in just 100 days.

You and other competitors from around the world will be provided with a performance plan, a disciplined implementation process, daily measurement systems, and a very unique accountability tool along with specific tactics and strategies to attain your goals.
