Tom Lehman has had a long and distinguished career on the PGA Tour, but despite his longevity and victory in the 1996 British Open, he has (only) won five times on tour. The cumulative percentage of his victories per tou ament is barely 1 percent. Kenny Perry has won thirtee PGA Tour events in over nineteen years, which accounts for about 2 percent overall. A old Palmer won sixty-two tou aments over his nineteen year PGA career for a winning percentage of 8 percent. For comparison, Tiger Wood’s PGA winning percentage is obviously the highest at approximately 27 percent.

Any time an athlete commits suicide is a tragedy. The sporting community is mou ing the loss of four gifted athletes. Rick Rypien, 27, who recently signed with the Winnipeg Jets in the National Hockey League, is the most recent athlete to have committed suicide. Derek Boogaard, 28, another NHL player, Jeret 'Speedy' Peterson, 29, U.S. Olympic silver medalist freestyle skier and Dave Duerson, 50, former NFL player with the Chicago Bears, also committed suicide earlier this year.

Have you ever felt so strongly about something that you were willing to do anything in order to reach your goal? Even though there were barriers, you knew this was right for you and nothing was going to stop you. Obstacles you previously avoided were now challenges you were ready to take on and overcome. You had a “do anything” attitude. Once you develop a burning desire to reach a goal and you feel a strong innate sense about this new direction, your entire mindset shifts. The excuses and the resistance all of a sudden melt away.

The principle of the Law of Attraction states that what you focus on, you will attract. Therefore if you are focusing on something negative, you will attract more negativity into your life. If you are focusing on positive, then you will bring more positive into your life. When you have tried to focus on something positive, do you feel that it worked for you? Did you end up achieving your goals? Everything you do is either about expansion, and allowing, or about constriction, and restricting. Consider your desire to grow your business. Is it expansive or constrictive?

“Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.”General George Patton Let’s face it, endurance events are painful. When it catches athletes off guard, their performance falters. The solution is to get beyond the pain, and to maintain focus in the present with the goal in mind. On race day Sam knew he had done everything possible to prepare for the century cycling event, a 100-mile bike race. It was a confidence booster. He relished the rush of adrenaline coursing through his body in anticipation of the start.

I recently began working with Sandy (not her real name). She came into counseling for eating disorders and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The first time that we met I discussed EFT with her. At that time, she was resistant to using EFT and states that she had tried tapping before and did not ...

"An athlete is a normal person with the gift of an undying passion to be the best and achieve greatness." Amanda Ring Over time most athletes are going to suffer injury. It is a given. In an ideal world if you knew you were going to be injured, it would be great to schedule the injury at the beginning of the off-season. Unfortunately it rarely happens that way. No matter when you are injured it is going to upset your life, training and season. The strategy is to deal with it in the best possible way. The goal is to return to play as quickly as possible.

Focus. For elite athletes that is the name of the game. Focus is the biggest gap among competitors. The test appears during the most stressful conditions, during competition. Why? Well, it is easier to focus when you are practicing. The situation is a lot more relaxed with reduced pressure. It is during those high pressure moments, when you are competing to win, that your abilities, including your focus, are put to the test.

Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown. Ross Perot Everything we do is either to feel or avoid some emotion. How you feel does matter. Mindset contributes 80% to success. If your mindset is not in the right place, all of the information about marketing will not make a difference.

Balance. That is a powerful word. It is an empowering way to live. For many this is easier said than done. We all have an inner voice we hear as we go through the day. What tone of voice does your inner voice have, supportive or critical? Which part of you is louder, your ego or your intuition? Are you able to tell the difference? Are you more comfortable being in your head and thinking things through or do you tend to go with your gut and instinct? Your ego is self protective and typically fearful. The typical response is fight, flight or freeze.

Have you thought about making long, lasting change, but just haven’t done anything about it yet? Life can so busy and much of the day is spent focusing on taking care of stuff. At the end of the day, what have you done for you? Change can happen. Having a desire to do things differently is the first part of the process. Nothing will change, however, until you decide the time is right to take action. Typically something occurs and you are faced with your problem one more time.

Do you feel like a success? Do you look like a success to others, but on the inside feel like a failure? No matter how hard you try, you never do it well enough. You might be told over and over again about what great work you are doing, but you minimize it and only focus on the flaws. Even the outstanding achievements are not worth celebrating. You have a choice. You can continue to move forward in your career maintaining this perspective and never feeling fully satisfied. That is one option. Or you can make a choice to move past the hidden obstacles to your success.

There are no limits on what you can accomplish except those limits that you set on your own mind. Brian Tracy Do you know what holds you back from doing things which you know will help you to grow your business? What is the one thing you have been avoiding because it is out of your comfort zone? All entrepreneurs experience these things when growing a business. It is the choice you make once faced with something fearful which will separate the successful entrepreneurs from all the rest.

According to the Law of Attraction, you have the ability to manifest your dreams. What you focus on you get more of. If that is true, what are your dreams? Consider your professional goals and what you want for yourself. How big do you dare to go? As children, we dream BIG. Remember how the world held so many possibilities for you? You were able to be whoever you wanted to be. As you got older, there were more influences in your life. Some of them were very limiting and narrowed your scope of possibilities. Good or bad, someone else’s beliefs and values were imposed upon you.

What if everything you need for success was already available to you? You hold the key to your future. Instead of looking for the solutions outside of you, tap into your mind’s eye and envision your future. Everything you need is within you. Your mind is unable to discriminate between imagination and reality. This is powerful. Harness the power of your imagination and visualize your success. According to the Law of Attraction, envision your success as if it is in the present and has already happened. The more detail you bring into this mental image, the better.

Transparency. It has become the norm with social networking and online marketing. We each have our own barometer between too much information and not enough revealed. Wikipedia states: “transparency in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through.” Weaving transparency is important for an effective marketing message and branding. How much though is too much?

Does your burning desire to win drive you? Many highly competitive athletes believe winning is their primary motivator. It may be true for some, but not necessarily for everybody. Examine your real driving force and you may find out the actual core reason is to evade losing. What does it mean for you? Well, winning is an optimistic objective while avoiding losing has a negative focus. Winning is a positive goal. Do you desire to win, or do you actually want to avoid losing? What is the difference between these two? Either you are working toward reward or trying to avoid pain.

I first began rowing seasonally, only during the fair weather months. I couldn’t understand why anyone would want to row in the winter. After a couple of years, watching other people row all year long, I made the decision to become a recreational rower. Now I had the opportunity to row any time I wanted. Surprisingly it wasn’t “that cold” during the winter months. In fact, the winters were easier to endure because of my new interest. All this time I was aware of the racing team, but was unable to imagine myself in that group.

Congruency is very sexy to the Law of Attraction. The universe responds positively when your thoughts, emotions and actions all line up. Your positive energy signals the universe to take notice. Consider the things you say you want for yourself. What are your goals for your practice? To really be successful you must have alignment between your values and goals. Visualization is a powerful tool for reaching your goals. Vividly imagine yourself being in your ideal life, having a full thriving practice and supportive positive relationships.

All athletes experience fear at some point. It is the primary reason for failure. Defeat and walking away from your dreams stem from avoidance. It is not whether you will face fear; it is the way you respond once fear arises. First and foremost, all athletes experience doubt along the way. Eventually you will reach a level of competition which will stretch you beyond what you believe is possible. Is this when your inner voice of doubt kicks in? "I can't do it." "I am afraid to try."

“Do what you fear and fear disappears." David Schwartz When I first started my practice my coach told me I was going to learn to love marketing. I just chuckled. She had no idea what I thought about marketing and going to networking events while working in my counseling agency. I had avoided them for the past 12 years of my business. My excuse was that Steve, my husband, was more charismatic and enjoyed socializing. He was the outgoing personality and I enjoyed staying in the office working directly with our clients.

Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained. Arthur Somers Roche "Karen" had a strong desire to overcome her fear of public speaking. She wanted to begin presenting workshops to build her business. She ...

In today's fast paced world as more and more pressures seem to pop up every day, it's vital to reduce the negative effects of stress on the body.

One thing which really increases the chance of long term success is having a support system. Typically when you think about your support system you will think about the people closest to you and whether they “are there for you” or not. So often I see clients say they want to grow their practice, but don’t have a support system. The people who are closest to them are the very ones encouraging them not to change. It was okay when your business was seen as a “hobby” and did not interfere with other parts of your life.

How often have you heard the phrase “walking your talk?” When that does not happen there is a disconnect. What you are saying and what you are doing are two different things. When you have a discrepancy between your words and your actions, your actions will be the truth. People will pay attention to what you are doing and disregard what you say. We all know people like that. When they talk, they appear very sincere. I believe they actually are sincere at that moment when they are talking.

Deserving is an interesting concept. For some it is seen as a right and something positive. Others view it as a negative and feel guilt. When you think about deserving what are some of the thoughts you have? Do you deserve to carve out the time to grow your business? Do you deserve success? Deserving and feeling worthy go hand in hand. They are partners. Many times people are unable to achieve long lasting success because they do not feel they earned the right. Yes! That is right. Deserving something like success can be viewed as a right.

Your success is dependent upon your focus. Thinking about all of the day to day demands and everyone needing your attention leads to anxiety and overwhelm. This is energy draining. You are likely to get everything done, but will feel frantic as you rush. The minor day-to-day details can get in the way of the BIG picture. Spending time putting out fires distracts you from your larger, long term goal. This way of doing business is time consuming and tiring. You are constantly attacking things as they come up one by one.

The definition of a contract in Webster’s Dictionary is “a binding agreement between two or more persons.” Contracts have many purposes. We expect contracts to define expectations and purpose as well as limitations. They clarify the parameters in the agreement. Typically, they are explicit and tangible. This is the typical view of a contract. Then there are the negative contracts. Negative contracts are little known facts which have far reaching implications. They are typically between two or more people. There is no statute of limitations.

How you do anything is how you do everything! There is a connection between your thoughts, emotions and actions. If there is a part of your business which you are dissatisfied with, take a closer look and figure out why things are not working well. Discover the conflict between what you want and how you feel about successfully achieving your goal. If you have a deep underlying belief which contradicts your goal, you will hold yourself back. The good news is change can happen. With that being said, think about your business. Do you love what you are doing? Are you having fun while working?

Not everyone is a sports enthusiast or competitive person. There are lessons, however, which can be learned from athletes and applied to your business. Each and every Olympic athlete has a coach behind her, is part of a group and is driven to strive for peak performance. They have the determination and mindset of a winner, choosing to move forward even when it is uncomfortable. Although I have always exercised, my time was primarily spent in a gym. I became involved in sports very late in my life. At 40y/o I learned downhill skiing and sweep rowing in the same year.

Did you know that 95% of all athletes have not clearly defined their goals? Defined is to the essential qualities necessary to reach your goal. Focused, single-minded intention about your goals directly affects your success. A well-defined goal connects you to your vision.

Building Confidence and Releasing the Inner Critic “Realize you have choices about what you do, or do not want to do. Choose to get out of your comfort zone and say "yes" to reach your peak potential.” Loren Fogelman How often have you thought about your professional goals and how things would be different? You believe you want to take the steps necessary to move forward and grow your practice. Over time, the momentum and the desire begins to change. You’re not as focused. There is not as much effort in the process to grow your practice.

What was the reason you decided to start your own business? Did you get tired of your corporate job and feel you could do it better? Are you home with your family and your hobby turned into a business? All of a sudden you were out of a job and needed an income? Too often I hear from my clients they are working too hard in their business without seeing an increase in revenue. If you needed to create more income, would you be able to do this quickly? More often than not, we hold ourselves back. You talk about having a successful business, but some of the steps you have to take are scary.

"Where there is purpose, there is energy. Actions directed toward a compelling purpose will create a powerful momentum that lines up events and circumstances in your favor. Purpose gives you a reason to get going each day and strengthens your determination to persist when the going gets tough. Purpose pushes you firmly toward your highest level of accomplishment." Ralph Marston Visualization is a powerful tool. You actually use it all the time and don’t even realize what you are doing.

“Release the negative in order to experience the positive.” Loren Fogelman The good things are always worth repeating more than one time. Reminders are important as you make changes in how you view yourself and your business. When you begin to change your mindset, you are likely to catch yourself going back to old ways of thinking and acting. This will happen. The key is to realize what you are doing and then refocus. Choose to shift your focus from negative to positive. If you are familiar with Abraham-Hicks you might have heard the terms going upstream versus going downstream.

Working toward a goal is making the choice to attain something that you do not currently possess. It is a milestone. Some goals are easier and more attainable than others. Choosing to grow your business and implementing all the steps, creates a challenge. You are stretching yourself. This might be uncomfortable. You will be doing things which you had previously avoided. How will you act when you are facing an uncomfortable task? Consider the obstacle you need to overcome to reach your goal.
