Ironman Mindset.... What it takes to achieve BIG goals in life


I've been told if you want a short cut in life (in a good way) find someone who's doing really well and model them. Think about it.... If you want to lose weight and become healthy, would you go ask someone who's over weight and always sick. NO!!! Well I invite you to attend my upcoming interview the expert teleseminar. I have the distinguished pleasure to invite Chris McDonald a 4 time Ironman Champion! Wow that's very impressive. He obviously as some self discipline we could all learn. So join us because success leaves clues. To get the details click this link http://bit.ly/djicmtri See you on the call.

Anything is possible....

Sunday, August 28th I accomplished a major personal goal - I completed the Ironman Triathlon. I'm very blessed, grateful and proud of this accomplishment. This was such a great experience and I learned so much about myself. First, face your fear and and make a decision to go after your goal. Talk is cheap.... Action is the real deal. Once I got into my training I realized I needed to become my own voice. There's a voice in all of us that prevents us from achieving our goals. The voice that says, "Hey nobody else is getting up so early" or "Why are you shooting for such a big goal." This voice needed to be hushed and I did just that! In my coaching business, I've come to realize, we all have a voice that prevents us from playing big in life. This voice creates a mindset and that's are destiny. Your mind is everything. If you want to transform your life, you'll need to transform your mind. Sounds so simple doesn't it. In order for me to accomplish a major endurance race like the Ironman, I need a mindset saying I can. I'm very proud to be amongst the finest triathlon family - Ironman. Anything is possible.... What life transforming goal have you been putting off?

Finishing Your Race.....


Last weekend I completed Ironman 70.3 Muncie, IN triathlon. This is a half Ironman. I've finished other half ironman races but this one had a different lesson. So we're all on the same page a triathlon is three sports; swim, bike and jog. A half ironman is a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 jog. What lesson did I learn - finishing. I had the intention of finishing my race at a specific time. Well as the race went on all was good until the jog. It was a very hot day actually it was extremely HOT. As I was making my way through the 13.1 miles, I realized the real goal was finishing. The conditions were much different than I expected so adjusting my outcome never changed - finishing the race. Sure it would have been great to have completed in a better time but finishing it was the ultimate goal. In life we need to adjust our expectations but understand the target never changed - to finish. So let my lesson be a gift to you. Keep your eye on your target and understand how it plays out may be different than you planned. But don't give up, stay with it and finish, you'll still feel amazing and very proud of your commitment. What resources do you need to take your life to the next level?
