Every morning, make a habit of creating new habits. These habits will eventually shape your every day. Too often, we get caught up in our normal way of living ... bad habit after bad habit. The mistake most make is trying to "change those bad habits." Instead, focus only on the new habits you wish to create.

90% of everything we do is habit-based. Take an honest look at your every move, ask yourself what's holding you back, and figure out what new habit will help you turn a corner. Very often, we know what we're doing that's not allowing us to reach another level, but rarely commit to creating something new. This is a decision that must be made before any type of change can manifest. You need to want the new more than you enjoy the comfort of the old.

What new habits will allow you to push past the daily barriers you regularly face? When you wake up tomorrow, what will you do, think, or change in your belief system that you didn't yesterday?

Decide To Sacrifice

This is a guest post by Marty Hamm

Name your long term and short term goals. Do you know what you'll need to do in order to achieve them? You may have somewhat of an idea. Now, think of the things that you will CHOOSE to give up in order reach those goals. A little harder, right? Choosing to sacrifice is easier said than done. No one in their right minds would want to give up something that they're accustomed to having, but sometimes we have to do it so that we can get to where we want to be. 

Everything worth having requires some type of sacrifice, no matter if it's big or small. You have to be prepared to let it go so that you'll have room for the new things in your life. There's a reason why only a small percentage of people in the world are successful - they realize that sacrifice is not an option, it's a must! You may have to give up time, money, relationships, freedom, sleep, your youth, and even some other aspirations, but in the end it'll work out and all be worth it. 

You can have it all. You just have to be willing to give it your all.

Who You Were Is Not Who You Are

Weekend 1% Fire

What's Your Answer?

When you find the answers to these questions, your 1% Success Story will be on it's way! Asking the proper question is an amazing technique to find a powerful answer. Here you go ...

I Don't Have That Luxury

To become the 1% - to share in that type of greatness, you absolutely must do what they're not doing ... period! If you're unwilling to risk more, set loftier goals, and decide to be fearless, 99% will be your destiny. Check this ...

Zip It!

Stop talking about it ...

Too many focus on how sexy it would be to "make it" (whatever that means - we never make it, we only get better at it). Not enough > 1%, actually < do what it takes to grab ahold of what they want. That small percentage understand that talking gets them nowhere except where they were yesterday.

When will you make the committed decision to stop dreaming about a better life, game, or business? I'm not preaching from a place higher than thou ... I used to be that talker - that wannabe, who only wished for another level. These last few years, however, I've come to realize that my talk was masking the fear that absorbed my every thought. I "kinda wanted" a new level for myself, but wasn't willing to cut away my safety net. I had to get sick of what I saw in the mirror everyday, and CHOOSE a new place - a fearlessness that would reign.

No one can make this decision for you. I can hope to inspire and motivate you to a place where you choose in a quicker fashion, but only that reflection can make it happen. So, let me ask you again: When will you stop hoping and begin acting? When will you start defining your life by the walls you smash, rather than wishes you make?

Stop talking about it ... stop dreaming about it ... stop making plans for it's arrival. Start doing. Now.

Poker Strategy Crosses Over

It's such a simple equation: If you believe more more intensely than they do ... you win! If you live / play fearlessly and they doubt ... you can't lose. The long term understanding of this process is crucial for the 1% way of living.

What Do You Choose?

This picture explains exactly what I teach every day - self belief beyond all evidence. Knowing it WILL happen before evidence appears is what separates the great from the good.

99% will say your goals are too "unrealistic." They want you to believe that it's better for your confidence if you create goals that you're guaranteed to reach. This type of thinking is what keeps most in the same spot, year after year. To live the 1% lifestyle, you must think, act, and believe on a level most say IS unrealistic. 

Before anything manifests, it must be imagined with emotional intensity almost unmeasurable. Goals need to be mentally accomplished before ever surfacing, physically. This isn't easy and most will say it can't be done. What will you decide is the truth? What do you choose to be realistic? 

Weekend Separation

The majority view Saturday and Sunday as days to rest from the grind of the week. This is where you separate from them - you work, they don't ... you win! Period!
