Brendon defines "high performance" as "succeeding beyond standard norms over the long-term." In other words, consistently performing at your best. Brendon will be teaching this topic at his upcoming High Performance Academy event in San Diego. For ticketing information, visit HPA.Brendon.com To be able to reach high performance, you have to master these four areas of your life: Psychology. You have to gain control over your thoughts, emotions and behavior so that you can stay motivated, positive, resilient, and empathetic. Physiology. We all know that we should closely manage our sleep, workouts, nutrition and health. But few people consistently care for their well-being, which is why so many people drop off or plateau? This must become a priority in your life if you wish to succeed long term (and enjoy the journey!). Productivity. There's a science to setting goals, prioritizing and scheduling blocks of time. If you lack this knowledge or the ability to get things done and to be effective in what you’r

Time management is ultimately about working a vision backwards into strategic and scheduled chunks of time and tasks. It's about yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily goals. Easy, right?

We lost my dad seven years ago today. I still think of him and miss him every day. Dad was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia on Mother’s Day, May 10, 2009. It was out of the blue. The week before, he was golfing and playing racquetball. Dad was an extraordinary man: funny, supportive, strong, loving. His message to us kids throughout life said most of what you needed to know about the man: “Be yourself. Be honest. Do your best. Take care of your family. Treat people with respect. Be a good citizen. Follow your dreams.” Listen to this special episode for his influence on my, my family and Life's Golden Ticket. To all those who posted kind thoughts today about my dad on my Facebook and Instagram, thank you. - Brendon

"Grit" is supposedly passion + purpose, best defined by Angela Duckworth's wonderful book and work in this area. The only thing missing to the equation was "people skills." Still, people ask me how to build grit, so here's four simple ideas that goes beyond the basics of grit research: 1. Discover what you are truly hungry for. 2. Prime enthusiasm each morning so you're passionate. 3. Block time to work diligently on practicing or doing your work. 4. Get a support team to help you sustain the journey.

Choosing between a bad opportunity and a good one is easy. But choosing between two GOOD opportunities can be tough. Next time, consider giving points - from 1 to 10 - to each opportunity based on these factors: 1. Return on Investment 2. Future Value 3. Personal Development 4. Lifestyle 5. Emotional Well-being 6. Relationships/Community After rating on these categories on a scale of 1 to 10, and then adding them up, you will certainly find an opportunity that ranks higher.
