Talker or Doer, What are You?

  1. Are you a talker or a Doer? You may fake the world into thinking you’re a success or even intelligent, however history will only judge you by what you do.

I have seen so many people in the world that claim to be “Experts or Leading Authority’s” and the in some cases, they are. However in many cases they have people convinced of something that is not factual. There is one word that differentiates people of success and non-success and that is action.

How many times have you had a great idea and never taken action. Then a short time later, you see your idea on T.V. or in the stores.  The difference was the person who took action is a “Doer”, the ones that did not were “Talkers”  At Peak Performance, we teach our students how to be “Doer”. They learn how to set goals, take action and achieve great success. Watch the video of Master Schill sharing his daily tip with you.

Stand for YourSelf

If you are not will to willing stand up for what you believe in, then do not complain about what you settle for.
Everyday I see and hear people that are extremely unhappy with their circumstances and or relationships. If you do set a level of expectation in your life for the type of behavior you expect from friends, peers and your children, then do not complain about the results of these relationships.
If you want your child to succeed greater in school, then raise the bar for them. If you want them to treat you with respect, then expect that from them. If you want your employer to treat you with respect and value, then set an expectation of behavior from the beginning. However, you need to over produce so there is never a question as to your value to the organization.
Business owners, set the expectations for your customers. You want to over deliver your product or service. If you are providing superior service, the old saying “The customer is always right” is wrong. Some customers are not worth having and regardless of how much money they bring in, you are better off without them.
You must respect yourself first before anyone will respect you themselves.
Raise the bar of expectation in your life and start experiencing the success you want!

Peak Performance Martial Arts Character Development

Character Development

Desire Part 1

Definition – 1. To long or hope for: exhibit or feel desire for <desire success>

Desire is one of those things people just don’t think about until they are in the middle of it.

Thoughts are powerful things when combined with a definite purpose, persistence, and a burning desire

The man who thought his way into a partnership with Thomas Edison

Edwin C. Barnes was a man with a burning desire to work with the great Thomas Edison. He had a very specific or definite desire, to work with Edison, not for Edison. He knew he wanted to work alongside Thomas Edison as an equal, in partnership, not as an employee. This is a crucial difference that set young Mr. Barnes apart from his contemporaries of the time.

Mr. Barnes had two major factors working against his desired goal:

1. He did not know Thomas Edison personally.

2. He was living on the west coast of the United States, while Edison was living on the east coast. Barnes had no money to make the trip to meet Edison.

Many a person would have found the two obstacles daunting and intimidating. Not so for Mr. Barnes. He left all that he knew, packed his meager possessions into a bag and traveled by “blind baggage” across the country. (Blind baggage is to train hop on freight trains)

Upon arrival at Mr. Edison’s laboratory, he announced his intentions to go into business with the great inventor. To look at Mr. Barnes standing in the doorway was to see a dirty, transient drifter. With not a cent to his name, and holding all his worldly possessions on his person. Most people would have slammed the door in his face, but Thomas Edison saw a look in his eye and the demeanor in which he held himself and took note of it. He offers him the job of being a clerk for his business. Not a prestigious job and the least paying of any position within his organization. To Barnes it was the door opening for his partnership with Edison. Never once did he look at the position as working for Edison, but always as working with Edison. This is crucial in understanding the concept of a burning desire. His perception of the situation gave it value where others would have seen none. Eventually, Edwin C. Barnes was given the opportunity he desired, and was able to rise up and work alongside Thomas Edison as a partner by becoming the best seller of Edison’s invention the Ediphone. The slogan became “Made by Edison and installed by Barnes”. This partnership lasted for more than three decades and made Barnes a rich and successful business man.

Key points to think about:

1. Edwin C. Barnes had a burning desire to succeed (partnership with Thomas Edison)

2. He was willing to follow his desire and take the chance of going for it

3. He “burned his ships” and had no way to retreat if things didn’t work out. He staked everything on one spin of the wheel, so to speak.

4. He took the opportunity given to him, and viewed it a positive step toward his goal, and the jumping off point for what he desired most to come to fruition.

5. Barnes thought himself into a partnership with Edison. He thought himself into a fortune. He had absolutely nothing to start with, except the capacity and knowledge to KNOW what he wanted, and the determination to stand by his desire until he reached it.

 

 

Goal Setting – Part 3 – Peak Performers Class

“Tool Box cont.

►The next item in your “tool box” is your Plan of Action. You must take your short/ mid-term, and long-term goals, and devise a clear, precise plan of how you wish to accomplish these tasks. You need to have steps in place that continuall

y lead you forward in pursuit of the desired end result. These steps are smaller, specific tasks that relate very directly with the goal they are attached to.

Goal Setting Tool Box

Example. If one of our student here at Peak Performance Training Center wishes to promote to their next belt rank, they must first learn the required material. In order to do that they must:

1. Attend Class

2. Practice at Home

3. Know When Testing Is

4. Participate In The Rank Testing

Now the goal is the next belt. The plan of action is to go to class, practice the things they are taught, know exactly how much time they have to learn the material, and demonstrate everything at the time of testing.

►Finally, we come to Revision. We must continually review or Plan of Action.

“The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought.

The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand.” –  Sun Tzu - The Art Of War

To be successful, one must plan ahead. But to be truly successful, the plan must not be static, and rigid.  Instead, the plan must be pliable and flowing as circumstances change. Sun Tzu understood that a

ny great leader of men must have a precise vision they wish to accomplish ahead of time, including the possibility that the situation would not go “according to plan”. The most successful leaders vigorously plan ahead for all possible circumstance, but are flexible enough to change a plan accordingly to adjust for events beyond their control.

You must continually study your plan of action and determine if a change is needed. The longer you let an event go on that is not “according to plan”, the farther off your path you will become. Be vigilant with your goals, and open to suggestion or change in your action steps, as or when needed.

Goal Setting – Part 2 – Peak Performers Class

Goal Setting Tool Box

 

“Tool Box

 

“You were born to win. But to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.”

- Zig Ziglar

Listed below are the “tools” you will need to be successful with goal setting:

 

► The first item in your “tool box” is your Attitude. Before you achieve one physical step toward your goal, you must first have these two things:

1. Conviction

2. Commitment

Conviction—You must first want to achieve your goal, before you will ever actually do anything positive to accomplish it. A good example of this is adults who attempt to quit smoking. Until that person truly wants to quit, they will always return to the older, more familiar patterns of behavior.

Commitment—You must make a conscious effort to stick to your goal. The road will not always be easy, and at times you may feel discouraged, but as long as you stay focused and committed, you will prevail.

►Next is a Positive Mental Attitude. We call this your PMA. What you focus on expands. Think positive. Attempt to see the upside to every challenge. Zig Ziglar says, “Positive thinking will not help you do anything, but it will help you do everything better than negative thinking will.”

►The next item in your “tool box” is to see your Desired Outcome/Result.  We must start with the end in mind.  If you are unable to visualize what your final result will be with a clear, precise picture, using all of your senses (sight, smell, touch, taste, sound) then your mind will have a difficult time achieving the result.  Start at the very end, and work backwards toward your start point.  This will lead the next “tool”.
