MINDSET : 

Why do elite athletes all train together?

The best sprinters all end up training together.

The best MMA fighters train in groups.

Powerlifters. Judokas, the list goes on and on.

Why? Because they recognise the power of having great people around them. To push them. To hold them to account. To support them.

Don’t complete, collaborate.

I wrote about this on Linkedin here (watch out for the ridiculous photo 🙂 but I want to make the point more strongly.

It is your ego that stops you from reaching out to peers, forming partnerships, collaborating. From putting yourself in productive groups.

The human ego is a powerful thing.

But if you want to grow I suggest you shrink the ego.

MONEY:

Don’t try to figure it out by yourself.

I always tell the people I coach there are no prizes at the end for getting there alone.

The reality is you won’t ‘get there’ anyway.

Because what will happen is you’ll fall down the "‘How-Hole’….

Think about that for a second…

I spoke to a very experienced coach this week. He’s leaving an employed coaching position to pursue the entrepreneurial path.

He’s falling down that hole as we speak…here’s how it usually looks.

  • You become aware that you want more, the pain intensifies over time.

  • You make a commitment to change.

  • You spend the next 3, 6 or even 12 months trying to figure out how to do it and making zero sales or very low sales.

  • Progressively you lose confidence. “I’m not good enough” starts to come in. “My business isn’t right, I don’t know enough yet..” “People won’t pay”..(all complete nonsense btw!)

  • This cycle usually ends up with a few years of earning very little, or you give in and revert back to a job.

  • OR you finally see the light and move onto the model below (just years behind where you want to be, scarred and a ton of ‘un-learning’ needed….)

This pathway above is the ‘how-hole’ and it destroys you.

Serious question:

If you’ve never done it, how the hell would you expect to figure it all out by yourself?

Let me give you a much smarter version.

This model is simple.

  1. Decide on what you want.

  2. Find someone who has done that thing or similar.

  3. Connect with them and get them to mentor you.

  4. Get there in a few months, take the learnings and apply to the next phase.

  5. Repeat.

Ah but this model requires something else…

That something is trust, and investment…

But you’re ignoring the hidden cost.

The cost to NOT be where you want to be, every week, month or year.

To NOT be able to work from anywhere. To NOT have time for your kids. To NOT be able to have the choices and freedom that you want.

What’s the price on that?

I say again, there are no prizes for getting there by yourself. Except maybe the booby prize that goes to the person that just does not get how this works.

Don’t fall down the hole my friend.

FREEDOM:

When Roger Bannister dipped the line under 4 minutes the world changed. Before that event it was considered utterly impossible. No one believed it could be done. And suddenly they did.

Then after that achievement many others achieved the very same.

You know the story.

The question is what do you believe to be 100% true that is holding you back.

People like us can’t achieve that. Is a common one.

My company can’t grow by 100X in 3 years. It’s impossible.

I don’t believe I can have six pack abs.

Challenge your own beliefs.

Challenge other peoples.

That’s what elite coaching is all about.

Creating the impossible.
