Something got me up at 4:04 am this morning. Not quite sure what it was. But I just felt really, really inspired. To write. To share. To serve. And so with an outpouring of outright passion, I began to record 100 of the best ideas I could think of to help you live a breathtakingly great life. Here they are:
1. Great to be successful. Even better to be kind. 2. Being productive is an excellent vehicle for happiness. 3. It doesnt really matter what others think of youonly what you think of you. 4. Do your work like its the most important work in the world. Because it is.

sabotaging your success).

This past weekend I watched a pretty inspiring documentary that Id recommend to you so you round out 2013 in fine form. Its called Dont Stop Believing. And its all about a poor kid from the Philippines who made his wildest dreams come true. Heres the backstory A few years ago 80s supergroup Journey was looking for a new lead singer after legendary vocalist Steve Perry left the band. The guitar player Neil Schon spent weeks surfing the Net hoping to find someone to at least get them through the big tour theyd planned. He watched video after video but no one even came close to the mastery they needed to forge ahead. Late one night, seriously ready to give up, Schon went onto YouTube. He happened to see a video by a young man named Arnel Pineda who was singing Journey hits, belting them out like his life depended on it. Pineda had experienced a rough ride: His mother died of heart disease when he was just 13 years old. The family couldnt afford rent so he lived in the streets. He worked odd jobs and often suffered from hunger. He was close to giving up on his career as a vocalist. Mesmerized by the performance on YouTube, Schon sent an email to Pinedas friend who had posted the video. His friend thought it was a joke. But then Schon followed up a little later with a personal call to the singer, inviting him to an audition in Marin County, California. Pineda was speechless. The first day of the audition was a mess. Pineda was jet-lagged, disoriented and outright scared to be singing in front of his heroes. The next day was a bit better. Something shifted. The members of journey thought maybe Schon was actually onto something as Pineda stepped up his game. The kid was pretty good. Day 3 magic filled the studio. The musicians were blown away by what they heard. And Journey offered Pineda a chance to go out on tour with them. Get this Arnel Pinedas first performance was at a concert in Chile that was televised to 25,000,000 people. In the documentary Pineda said that the stress was so severe before he went on stage that he lost his balance and everything seemed to be in slow motion. But as you know so well, what makes mastery is not being fearless but experiencing your natural fear and doing what needs to be done anyway. Within minutes of being in front of that audience, Pineda started having fun. He stopped being scared. And he proceeded to rock the house.

Through the tour, his humility, work ethic, willingness to learn and passion to win wowed the members of Journey. At the end of it, Pineda fully expected to be thanked. And then to return home, satisfied that hed lived his dream. But his bandmates had another plan in mindthey offered him a permanent role as Journeys lead singer. He became a full member of the legendary group (80 million records sold) and would receive 1/5 of all profitexactly like the others. (Yes, the world has lots of decent, generous and good people in it). Pineda continues to tour the world with Journey and has recorded a number of successful records with them. He has bought a home for his family, become a famous rock star and lives a life he never could have imagined. The lesson for us: dont stop believing. Ever. The impossible is generally the untried. Sending you a ton of best wishes Your partner in success,
Just a quick check-in and sharing of some fast ideas today to move you into action. to kindle your inner fire. to galvanize your motivation. to alight your productivity. A couple of first principles on peak performance: Principle A: Please remember that success lies in a masterful consistency around the fundamentals.

Principle B: Success is really, really simple. Its not easy, but its really simple. [It all comes down to the execution]. With these two principles in mind, I share.. The 8 Fundamentals of Extreme Achievement #1. Making no decision is a decision. To do nothing. And doing nothing always brings you to nowhere. #2. The way of performing that got you to where you are today is not the way of performing that will get you to where youve always dreamed of being. #3. Making excuses donates power to the very things you are excusing. #4. If youre not being laughed at a lot youre not doing very much. #5. If youre not scared a lot youre not doing very much. #6. Investments in your personal development are the smartest investments youll ever make. #7. What you focus on always gets better. #8. All great achievement begins with a single act of brave commitment. Makes me think of the Goethe quote that has kickstarted my own personal inspiration for so many years: Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back Concerning all acts of initiative there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too All sorts of things occur to help you, that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events from the decisioncome your way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Great quote from a great thinker So what are your big ideas and splendid plans? And today, are you willing to make the commitment to breathe life into them? Or will you just let them die on the drawing board of fear, excuses and stagnation?

Im in a small city. By the sea. I often come here to think. To write. To plan. To sail. This mornings sunrise was immaculate. Last nights stars, spellbinding. As I ended my run, I saw an elderly woman, her face wrinkled via the experiences of a long life. She wrote in a book. She was alone. She looked sad. .It made me think of the poem I often begin my leadership presentations with (it comes from the great poet Rabindranath Tagore): Spring has passed. Summer has gone. Winter is here. and the song I meant to sing remains unsung. For I have spent my days stringing and unstringing my instrument. What message does this poem convey? to me, its always been a potent reminder of the shortness of life. And how very easy it is for us to get hypnotized into spending the best hours of our days being busy being busystringing and unstringing our instruments. On this precious day within what I sincerely hope youll leverage into a GREAT life, heres what I truly wish for you: that youll behave with bravery and be someone who displays true courage that youll model decency and stand for kindness that youll act with humility and deliver value to others that youll practice gratitude and celebrate your simplest blessings that youll sweat the small stuff and get the tiny details right that youll move your body and flex your mind that youll get up if knocked down and rebound when you stumble that youll remember that the quality of your performance reflects the caliber of your practice that youll carry a smile and radiate positive energy

A Respectful Reminder that Will Really Serve Your Success: Youre smart. So you know that life sends you opportunities from time to time. Successful people see themand then seize them. For the past 3 weeks, Ive genuinely tried to do something ever so special to help as many people as I could achieve spectacular results in their lives these last 60 days of 2013. But like all great things, this is coming to an end in 3 days. You see, for the past 2 years Ive received thousands of requests from my 600,000+ followers on Twitter and Facebook as well as via clients at my events such as The 48 Hour Transformation (held each June) to develop a world-class online course for peak achievement but at a budget-friendly price (versus the $2000 cost of many of my online programs). I listened to the requests and created Extreme Achievement Formula (EAF) based on the best ideas Ive learned over 17 years inspiring NBA players, NFL stars, NHL heroes, billionaires and rock stars for getting giant goals done swiftly. Took me hundreds of hours to put it all together. Did it with passion, convictionand love. This powerful and life-changing online course shows you how to develop EXPLOSIVE-levels of motivation, confidence and focus. And youll learn 100s of easy to apply tactics to achieve goals youve never been able to achieve. Along with exceptional ideas to ignite your productivity so you get amazing things done these last 60 days of 2013. Extreme Achievement Formula (EAF) is made up of 6 super-inspiring and content-rich video modules based on my $50,000 seminar and 10 complete audio programs. I truly wanted to stack on MASSIVE value for you to show you how much I want you to do this program. To show you how much I care. And how much I want to help you create a life you love. And during this grand opening event, Ive offered EAF at an unbelievably low price (not thousands of dollars, not $500just $297). I did this because you asked me to do this. Oh, and I put on a 100% guarantee so that if you do the course but dont think its one of the best online course for high achievement in the world, you get your money back. VERY fair, no? [so why wouldn't you try it?]. Im awed by how many people just like you from across the planet recognized this opportunity and snapped up their memberships to EAF (many for their entire companies and even whole families). People from every imaginable walk of life made the decision to invest in their personal development, in improving their mindset, in strengthening their character and in building a gorgeous life. (These are my heroesthe doers and dreamers). Its been a blastbut all great things must enddoors are closing in 3 days and were down to our final block of EAF memberships. I predict that youll look back on your decision to join EAF as the choice that changed your life And please know this course will completely sell out (my online programs always do) So go ahead and join all the people just like you already in EAF getting awesome results now This is your moment to fly, your time to shine and your day to let go of all you werefor the sake of becoming someone 20X better.

I have huge respect for those among us who, via their dedication to a vision and devotion to their practise arrive at a place where the world calls them a genius. These are the people who move me, who bring tears to my eyes when I watch them in action or read of their achievements. Heroes. Every one of them. Genius is much less about genetics and much more about ridiculous amounts of hard work, self-belief, focus and perseverance in the face of any setback Youre a genius. You have it in you, from the moment you were born. Maybe the people around you have limited it or your fears have stifled it or your distractions have smothered it but its there. Just aching to be expressed. And Im all about helping you do soso your life and our world is better for it. Geoff Colvins great book Talent is overrated is a must read on this beautiful subject as is The Talent Code by Dan Coyle. Here are 5 of the geniuses I most admire (I could add 100 more): 1. Nikola Tesla Sadly, at the end of his life in 1943 he was nearing madness, obsessive about germs, advocating eugenics and telling people he was working on a ray that would explode 10,000 enemy aircraft. But at the height of his powers, Tesla was a Titan. He invented the fluorescent light, the laser, the remote control and alternating-current transformers. A true game-changer. 2. Miuccia Prada The granddaughter of Mario Prada, founder of the high fashion conglomerate, is in a league of her own when it comes to designing clothes with whimsy and excellence. I admire her for her exceptionally creative work that results in luxury goods unlike anyone elses in the marketplace. And for her ferocious productivity. She also holds a Ph.D. in political science. 3. Pablo Picasso He painted 1,000s of paintings to deliver just a few true masterpieces to the world. He had little time for socializing, preferring to lose himself for long hours in his studio. Picassos work reflects his originality and comfort with his personal style. An artistand geniusin the most real sense. Please visit the Picasso museum in Barcelona as soon as you can. 4. Serena Williams

With her explosive serve and her mastery on the tennis court, Williams has risen to the lofty realm of sports genius. She has trained her brain via relentless practice over many years to spot opportunities her opponents cant see and to make moves few others can make. Id also add Lionel Messi, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods to this group. 5. Steve Jobs Before there was Zuckerberg and Brin, Dorsey and Mayer, the dominant tech genius was a man in jeans and mock turtlenecks named Steve Jobs. He was mercurial, rude, meticulous and so far ahead of his time peers spoke of his reality distortion field. Jobs disrupted convention and ran his own race. He wasnt about the moneyhe was all about the beauty of the products he made. And for that, I love him.
Hope youve been enjoying, and applying, ALL the of my extreme achievement formula that Ive been sending you these past few weeks If youre REALLY ready to leap from any form of average to outright genius, I have a new resource that will cause radicaland gorgeousimprovements in your life Its called Extreme Achievement Formula (EAF) and its an online course that walks you through the best ideas and daily tactics Ive learned over the past 17 years working with the worlds most successful people.
