What got you here, won't get you there

Before I share the thought I had for you today, I want to extend another big thank for all your support since I released my new book last week. I really appreciate it! If you haven't done so yet...Click here to check it out!  

Today I want to share something really important with you. It is so important that I created a free training you can watch on it. This is it. If you want to create NEXT LEVEL success, what got you to the level you are playing at today, won’t get you to the next level you are searching for. I am just being honest. Now don’t get me wrong…congratulations on all your success thus far and all you have achieved. And I know what it must have taken to get there. Lots of hard work, sacrifice, adversity, blood, sweat, tears, discipline, early mornings, late nights, extra practice time, the list goes on and on.

But I also know this…there is another level that you aspire to get to and right now it is eluding you. WHY? You see, there is a basic premise in the world of high performance that the very best understand - what got you to where you are today is actually going to be the very thing holding you back from getting to where you want to go tomorrow.

It sounds counterintuitive I know. But that is what separates the good from the great, the ordinary from the extraordinary and the achiever from the super-achiever. The very best have a counterintuitive approach that separates them from everyone else. This concept is one of those mindset shifts that if you grasp will allow you to break through and hit the next level you are working so hard to reach.

The reason for this is that there are a handful of habits that often keep successful people from making the next big leap forward in their career and getting to the next level. Ironically these are the same habits that are responsible for, and have helped people get to, the initial level of success they have. Thus they think that by doing the same thing they will automatically be able to produce and unlock the next level of success. But success does not work like that.

You have to evolve, you have to adapt and you have to learn with a growth mindset…

And here is what you have to LEARN:

You must LEARN what to STOP!

I hear a lot of people talk about what they must DO to be successful, but I don’t hear a lot of people talking about what they must STOP to be successful. And what I have learned from working inside the world of high performance is that many top performers don’t need to learn what to DO, they actually need to learn what to STOP.

It’s about taking that same small handful of habits that got you to where you are, and make some small shifts that will create extraordinary results taking you where you want to go in the future.

For instance what gets high achievers to succeed is being very driven and ambitious in pursuing their goals, dreams and desires. This requires that they be very focused on themselves “Me”. The problem is when you get to the top you have to quit doing that because it will end up being the very thing holding you back from getting to the next level. The next level requires something more, something bigger, something greater. It requires a mindset focused on others “We”. That is a very hard shift to make for someone who has only ever relied on themselves for their success. 

Another shift I help people make is to STOP focusing on the outcome. High achievers become obsessed with their outcome and what it is they want to achieve. As a consequence their single minded focus on achieving their outcome helps them to reach a level of success many others won’t. But that same obsession on the outcome is the very habit that will hold them back from reaching the next level. What the elite level requires is an understanding of the outcome and then a huge commitment to being focused and rooted in the process it will take to get there. The surrendering of the outcome to commit to the process is a small shift, that for those that choose to, will create extraordinary results.

These are just a couple and there are many more I could share, but you get the idea right?

And let me finally say that this concept sounds very easy in theory, but it is hard to do and difficult to put into practice. That is why not everyone reaches the next level of success they so desperately desire.

So let me ask you: What do you need to STOP doing so that you can start playing the game of life at the next level?
