Hooman's Story

When Michael Phelps experienced his first defeat since 2005, he didn’t make excuses. Instead Michael Phelps did what real champions do, he let his game do the talking. He came back and set the world record for the 200-meter butterfly at the swimming world championships in Rome with a record time of 1 minute 51.51 seconds.

When Michael Phelps finished a close second to a swimmer from Germany wearing one of those performance enhancing polyurethane bodysuits, he didn’t say that he lost because the swimmer from Germany was wearing one of those “steroid swimsuits”. Instead he flat out admitted that he was beat. He gave respect to the swimmer who beat him and said that he would be back.

“I do so many races that I can’t get caught up in one event,” Phelps said. “Last night, yeah, I was disappointed I didn’t win. But I knew I had to put that behind me to get ready for tonight.”

The swimmer who beat Phelps acknowledged that the polyurethane bodysuit gave him the unfair advantage that he needed to beat Phelps. He stated that his goal was to beat Phelps one day without the “steroid swimsuit”. The “steroid swimsuits” are going to get banned from professional competition because of the unfair advantages that they give to the people who use them. Michael Phelps is sponsored by Speedo and they do not use that polyurethane technology that allows swimmers to be faster than they really are.

Don’t Make Excuses, Make Achievements

While Michael Phelps could’ve used the excuse that probably anyone else in the world would have used, “I only lost because of the performance enhancing suit that my competitor was using.” Michael Phelps didn’t make that excuse. He came back and opened up a can of swimming whoop-ass and won the 200-meter swimming world championship with a world record pace.

“I really wanted to break the 1:52, and coming into the night I just said I’m going to go for it and whatever happens,happens.”-Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps is no different than you and I, he is a human being. The difference between him and the non-achievers in the world is that he was willing to work his butt off when everyone else was putting forth mediocre efforts. He was committed to his goals while others were just getting discouraged and quitting. Michael Phelps was dedicated to constant and never ending improvement while others were just dedicated to mediocrity. Michael Phelps has and unstoppable heart and a powerful mind that believes he can achieve anything he desires. That is precisely why he is a 14 time Olympic Gold medalist. That is precisely why he is going to go down as the greatest swimmer of all time.

Is he Beatable? Of Course he is.

Michael Phelps will only be beaten when someone comes along who wants it more than he does. Michael Phelps records will be beaten when someone comes along who is willing to practice harder than he ever did. Records are meant to be broken. Success is meant to be achieved. However success only happens if you have a burning desire to make it happen. It will only happen if you do whatever it takes to make it happen.

How do I Become the Best?

You become the best by modeling the best. Find out what the best in your field are doing and do everything you can to duplicate everything positive that they do until you experience similar results. You can achieve anything you desire if you are willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish your goal.

Never Make Excuses, Just Make Incredible Efforts

Be like Michael Phelps, when you experience setbacks along the way to achieving your desired goals, don’t make excuses. Comeback with a better, smarter approach until you achieve the success that you desire. If Michael Phelps can do it, than so can you but you must believe in your abilities to achieve without a doubt. Make it happen now.

Clients that are extremely happy will send you referrals for life. If you take care of the client, everything else will take care of itself. More referrals = more profit. Generating Referrals are the cheapest form of marketing that you can do. However, so many businesses are missing the boat by providing mediocre client service. I have news for you, mediocre client service will put you out of business fast. Don’t just take care of your clients, cater to their highest expectations.

Buddha said, “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make our world.”

Since our lives follow our thoughts, don’t you think its imperative that our thoughts are focused on the most empowering thoughts possible? One thing that the smartest minds of all time would all consistently agree on is the importance of your thought quality. These minds insisted that with our thoughts we created our futures.

I want you to exercise your mind power with the most empowering thoughts daily until you become a master of your thoughts. When you master your thoughts, you will master your life. Once you achieve the status of a thought master, anything will be possible in your life. 

Follow these 7 steps until you become a master of your thoughts. Master your thoughts and you will experience the best life. 

1. Reset your mind of everything negative in your life. The past must be forgotten because everyday is a new opportunity to make great things happen. 

2. Never think anything negative again. Never let anyone else’s negative thoughts poison your mind. It will seem hard at first so if you catch yourself being negative or being around someone negative, simply remind yourself that you are conditioning yourself to become a thought master. Think of something empowering to focus on until your empowering thoughts prevail over any negative thoughts. 

3. Focus on the future and all of its promise and possibilities. Focus on the future and all of the great outcomes that you desire. Focus on developing an empowering belief system that is going to allow you to achieve all of the future achievements that you desire. Remember, you can achieve anything you believe. Repeat to yourself over and over and over again, “I can achieve anything I believe.”

4. Visualize everything that you want to do in your life. Visualize yourself experiencing the results that you desire. Imagine how it will feel. Imagine what your life will be like. Your actions will come from your visualizations as your thoughts become things. Visualize everything as if it is your current reality. Think it, believe it, and then you will see it. 

5. Condition your mind to look at failure as just an outcome. If you don’t get the outcome that you desire you must be committed to keep trying to achieve your desired outcome until you succeed. Be flexible in your approach, if you don’t get the results that you desire, be willing to keep trying different solutions until you achieve your desired outcomes. Remember, failure is just a chance for you to begin again more intelligently. Henry Ford said, “Win or learn, there is no failure.”

6. Condition yourself to believe you can achieve anything you desire. Don’t limit your abilities with limited thoughts. Think huge. Great Expectations = Great Achievements. I can’t say this enough, think it, believe it, and then you will see it.

7. Be totally aware of your feelings because bad thoughts = bad feelings. Great thoughts = great feelings. All experiences and outcomes are a direct result of what we have been focusing our thoughts on. The better the quality of the thoughts that we focus on will only result in the best feelings and emotions for you. 

Your mind is a muscle, you have to exercise it everyday. Follow these steps towards becoming a master of your thoughts and everything in your life will instantly change for the better. Thought mastery will empower you to be in total control of your thoughts and actions, allowing you to become the master of your future. Make your life happen now, I know you can make it happen. Do you believe you can make it happen?

The Greatest Achievers Were all Consistent Performers

The Greatest achievers of all time were also the most consistent performers of all time. What good is getting great results if you are only getting them once in a while? Pat Riley the famous basketball coach said, “You don’t want to have an excellent game, you want to have game excellence.” The difference with the best performers and average performers is that the best performers achieve the results that they desire on a consistent basis, while the average performers only achieve the results that they desire once in a while. If you want to succeed at anything that you do, you must consistently achieve the results that you desire.

Consistent Performances Require Consistent Practice

The most consistent performers of all time were the people who were the hardest working individuals in their respective fields. Thomas Edison had a work ethic that was second to none. In fact he used to say that work was better than whiskey. Tiger Woods is the greatest golfer ever because he is the greatest at practicing his game. Champions are made at practice and not during “Show Time”. “Show Time” is just an opportunity to display how hard you have been working during your practice time. The same principles of practice apply to everything you do in your life. If you want to consistently succeed at anything you do, you must be willing to practice harder than everyone else in your field. Those individuals who practice harder than everyone else will always be more successful than everyone else.

Perfect Practice Equals Perfect Performance

Practice alone will not get you the success that you desire. You must commit to constant and never ending improvement in your life. Even if it is just a little improvement, as long as you are consistently getting better you will consistently experience successful results. You must always strive to get better by the day if you want to become a peak performer. If you are not moving forward in life, you are moving backwards and that is unacceptable. Achieve the success that you desire by committing to constant and never ending improvement. You must work on your weaknesses until they are equal to your strengths. You must consistently ask yourself empowering questions like, “What can I do today to make me consistently achieve the results that I desire?” “What can I do today to make me consistently perform better by the day?” Getting better by the day is what I call “perfect practice” and “perfect practice” will lead you to perfect performances.

You can Achieve Anything you Desire

You can achieve anything you believe with power and control over your thoughts and actions. You are the master of your future but it is entirely up to you to make your dreams come true. Don’t let someone work harder than you. Don’t let someone achieve the results that you desire while you sit back like a spectator. Life is not a spectator sport. Life happens when you make life happen. Make your life happen by consistently achieving the results that you desire by committing to constant and never ending improvement. Remember that perfect practice leads to consistent performances and consistent performances equal consistent success.
