Greetings Team,
With Christmas arriving on Saturday and the New Year beginning next weekend, I wanted to take the time to extend a very Sincere Happy Holidays to all of YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES! It's during this time of year that we ALL should take the time to surround ourselves with the people we care about most and share some good ol' fashioned quality time. :)
In addition, I wanted to remind all of you of that sharing the Martial Arts with you is a true pleasure. Getting the chance to watch you all grow as martial artists, fighters, athletes, and people is a true joy. Every day I get to interact with some of the best people I've ever met, and for that I am thankful. As I always say, I am one lucky guy. ;)
In this next year, let's ALL work VERY hard to be our VERY best! I look forward to watching all of you achieve BIGGER & BETTER VICTORIES in 2011!
I will see EVERYONE on the Mats January 3rd!!

What Kind of Year do YOU Want in 2011?
Greetings Team,
It's that time of year when we ALL talk about our GOALS for the upcoming year! It's normally during this time that we get very excited about what we think CAN happen. We DREAM a little more than usual. We open ourselves up to NEW possibilites. I would love for each and EVERY one of you to reach some new heights this year. But if we can't keep our level of Excitement up, we will never reach our Goals.
There are so many great books to read on the topic of Goal setting. I personally love Tony Robbins and Zig Ziglar. Check out some of their work, you might be impressed. My hope is not to give you a lesson on goal setting today. There are far many better sources you can look into on that subject, such as the men I mentioned above. My hope is to share with you that the #1 thing I believe I should remind you about today...and that is to work very hard daily at keeping your level of Energy HIGH. When we are in the right state of mind, the ACTIONS we take are always for the best! If you can find some strategies that you can employ each day to keep your level of enthusiasm up, I'm certain that you will work hard at your goals!!
So as you get your list of Goals together, please take some time research how to maximize your efforts. Get ideas from intelligent and successful people. Once you have your PLAN OF ACTIONS formulated, please work to keep your ENERGY HIGH! It's the only way to TRUE SUCCESS in 2011!!
I wish you the BEST in 2011!

Be Inspired Daily
Greetings Team,
In light of our recentWarriors Weekend, I wanted to share with you the power of being INSPIRED. As a Coach/Instructor, watching my students grow on the Mats is very similar to watching my children grow. I watch people become stronger people physically and mentally. I watch them become something more today than they were yesterday. During Warriors Weekend, I got to watch many of you change before me. With every push forward when you wanted to quit, I watched you change. It was very inspiring.
So my encouragement for you today is to be INSPIRED daily. If you had the chance to watch Warriors Weekend, you felt the ENERGY in the Gym. What if you could replicate that feeling within yourself on a day to day basis? Would it affect your life in a powerful way?
So how do we get inspired daily? The answer is simple. Read, listen, and surround yourself with inspiration. I once heard that we are basically an accumulation of the books we read and the people we interact with on a regular basis. Put another way, we are what we constantly think about. If you read and listen to stories of people overcoming challenges or achieving goals against all odds, it will inspire you. If you surround yourself with positive, goal oriented people, they will rub off on you.
If each day you put some positive energy in your mind and body, you will be amazed at how you feel and the actions you take!
BE INSPIRED DAILY TEAM!
All the Best,
COACH

The Motivational Model
Greetings Team,
As we bring 2010 to a close, I wanted to chat with you briefly about a wonderful concept I had the priveledge of recently learning. I feel it will be very important for ALL of us to get our mindset and goals set BEFORE the beginning of the New Year. You hear me say all the time, Decide in Advance! Let's all decide in Advance how successful we are going to be in 2011.
The Motivational Model is simple. Anything anyone ever achieved can be plugged into this simple formula.
1. You must have a Clear Purpose/Goal
2. You must be clear on the ACTIONS needed to be taken to Achieve that Goal.
3. You must be clear on the REWARDS of the ACTIONS you have taken.
Take a moment to think about this simple formula.......Pretty powerful isn't it? Think about anything that is Worth achieving. Don't you have to have a Purpose? Don't you have to have a plan to get what you want? Don't you have to have a reason to keep taking actions?
So many of us want to be more fit...especially around January 1st. So we have a Goal--> be more fit. But many of us aren't clear on what actions need to be taken. Further, we never really get EMOTIONALLY engaged about the REWARD-->an awesome physique and better health.
Many of us want to achieve more financially. But we tend to stop with that goal also. We make excuses on why it's impossible. We never really look into what ACTIONS need to be taken to get that goal. We don't get EXCITED about the REWARDS we would recieve if we achieved it.
I would encourage you to pick 3 Goals that you KNOW YOU WANT to achieve in the future. Fitness, a college degree, a BLACK BELT. ;) Take some time to write out WHAT ACTIONS YOU MUST TAKE TO GET THAT GOAL. Then stop for a moment...close your eyes...and imagine how you would FEEL if you had achieved that goal. Let that emotion sit inside you and grow for a while. How does that make you FEEL now?
So you see, I am absolutely in love with the MOTIVATIONAL MODEL. I hope that it impacts your life as much as it has mine!
All the Best!
