Tap your Talent in 2008
Here’s a quote I’m taking into the new year from Kahlil
Gibran…
“To understand the heart and mind of a person,
look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he
aspires to.”
Yes, it’s a good idea to spend time reflecting
on 2007 — what you did and didn’t do, etc.
It’s very helpful to take time to be grateful for all that happened
in 2007.
But regardless of what happened…. it’s over!
Time to move forward. Our level of excitement in life is
determined by what we see ahead of us, not what we see
behind us.
What do you aspire to in 2008? My suggestion:
set goals (what will you do by when?), not resolutions.
I’m jazzed about the new year and have some big goals for
making a big difference in the worlds of baseball and
softball by increasing the “mobility” of players, coaches
and parents.
By “mobility” I mean ability to move toward your goals. I’ll talk more about that soon, but for now just know that greater mobility means you’re faster, more
agile, more adept to change, less affected by adversity, more laser focused, etc.
Like a Transformer.
I’m starting the year fast by offering a transformational
teleseminar at no charge to you.

I’ll be teaching you the most powerful tool I’ve ever
encountered in the mental and emotional performance realm.
I’ve been hitting this technique hard for the second half
of ’07 and have helped many, many players breakthrough old
barriers (some they didn’t even know they had)
Look for an article on this in Collegiate Baseball next
week.
But this week Wednesday you can join me as I teach you this
tool that has truly transformed my coaching.
You will play with this tool or against it in 2008.
Since you’re on my email list you’ve got a desire to
improve, to get more from yourself, to evoke excellence in
others.
To not have this tool in your “bag” is nothing short of
folly.
So end 07 by taking an action that will set you up for a
great 08.
I don’t care if you play, coach, parent, or anything else,

There will be a bonus for those that listen live and for

Happy New Year.
I wish you an exciting New Year.

Blogging Coaching
I’m evaluating a multi-media course on blogging from the folks at Simpleology. For a while, they’re letting you snag it for free if you post about it on your blog.
It covers:
- The best blogging techniques.
- How to get traffic to your blog.
- How to turn your blog into money.
I’ll let you know what I think once I’ve had a chance to check it out. Meanwhile, go grab yours while it’s still free.
Something Wonderful is Going to Happen

Something wonderful is going to happen…
***************************
Christmas morning.
No other day and time can quite equal it.
Manic Monday — no
Tuesday Afternoon — makes me Moody, Blue;
Hump Day — come on, surely people aren’t so unhappy with their choice of how they spend their week that this day is a big deal;
Thursday — doesn’t even have a song or famous reference (unless you count Monday Thursday, a Christian day, but even at that Thursday needs another day in it to make it special);
While I’ve been around enough to know that not everyone has a positive association with Christmas morning, I’m going to run with it anyway.
Christmas morning, whether you’re focused on Jesus or Santa, is exciting.
It’s about anticipation — something wonderful is going to happen.
Just what is a matter of “who”s perspective you take…
“All the Who girls and boys wake bright and early, they’ll rush for their toys and then all the noise! Oh, the Noise!
Oh, the Noise! Noise! Noise!”
(although my four year old was more excited about his favorite girl friend coming later in the day than Santa, the main point I’m spinning here is anticipation,
excitement.)
***********************
Imagination is the key.
***********************
Kids and others are imagining what Christmas morn will be like, what will happen, what they’ll get. They don’t know for sure how it will go (and it may not actually go so well), but they are imagining great things.
And as a result of this imagining they are excited. Lots of positive energy flowing.
But what about the other 364 days? No doubt there will be some good ones — the calendar makers schedule in some look-forward-to-able days each year, so we get those automatically.
Why limit the positive use of imagination to Christmas and a few other days?
We all use our imagination each day — just not deliberately. Too often we imagine how bad things will be.
When you imagine how bad things will be, you feel bad and maximize the chances of things going badly.
When you imagine how good things could be, you feel excited, get in a good mood, and are tougher to upset.
****************************************
I don’t think it’s possible to not imagine what’s coming in the future.
****************************************
Since for the most part we can choose what we imagine, it comes to a matter of choice.
When I create my day deliberately by imagining my getting what I want, I feel good, perform well, and stay focused.
When I surrender my consciousness, go on auto-pilot and get caught up in whatever the day sends me, I ride the Results Roller Coaster up and down.
Homework: Deliberately do something that makes you feel good each morning. Start your day with a healthly “emotional breakfast” and see how the rest of the day unfolds.

p.s. There’s so much going on here (I’m very excited) that I’m going to host a no charge teleseminar next week Wednesday to explain it all.
I will teach you the best tool I’ve ever found for enhancing performance.
We will do it live on the phone.
I’m imagining it helping you 1/10 as much as it has helped me and that’s exciting.
There’s a good chance you’ll be playing against this tool this year, I doubt you want to play your season at an unnecessary disadvantage.
