If you would prefer to watch video instead of reading text you can view on the May 5th video post below instead of reading this text post.
Most people will probably think, “Well, do I really need to control positive energy?” I hope you do! It means you are creating good, but …
For those of you who prefer to read text over watching a video, here’s a summary of the previous video. World-class athletes, business leaders and other high performers actually transform, or transmute, their fear and channel it into higher levels of performance. Here’s a quick lesson from sport psychology.
As the stress or pressure or importance of the situation increases, what generally happens is that your ability to perform increases up to a point of peak performance and then rapidly drops off, with additional stress. So you’ll be at your best at a certain level of pressure. You can actually learn how to better control your reaction to more stress, pressure and importance so that you can be at your best under higher pressure circumstances. That’s the key to becoming a higher performer.
The second part of this peak performance formula is to learn to transform your negative thoughts and fear-based energy into …
Fifty, 150, 500? I can’t even count the number of highly successful entrepreneurs, sales professionals and executives who’ve told me, “I feel like a fraud,” or something similar — and all these talented people had a secret. Like one very powerful businessman, whom I’ll call Dan.
Dan was a public figure who use to enjoy speaking,
What’s Your Juice? I’m not referring to guava, pineapple or orange. I want to know what “juices” your energy, your motivation, your excitement. What turns your crank? What excites you in your work your life?
I once asked a sales coach, “What really excites you about your work?” He thought for a moment and replied, “I’ve been working with an entrepreneur who was ready to shut down his business, and I helped him turn his sales around. He now has positive cash flow and several months of retained earnings after only four months of coaching,” he said with a big smile. “That excites me.” As an executive coach, that’s what my clients need for sustainable motivation.
Do you know what one of the big differences is between high-performers and average performers?
In the story above, the sales coach knew where his juice was and what he wanted to do, and the entrepreneur focused on what he wanted — how to increase sales — and he got what he wanted. If he’d focused on what he didn’t want (more debt), he probably wouldn’t have hired the sales coach. This entrepreneur had the courage to move toward what he wanted instead of moving away from pain.
Be courageous. Focus on what you want,
and leave your pain behind.

The last post concluded with, “Every business and personal relationship you’re in can benefit from you giving more, but you must also be open to receiving … .” Have you ever hugged or kissed someone who didn’t hug or kiss you back? Have you ever given a present to someone who obviously didn’t like it? I have, and it made me feel empty and icky. Receiving a gift with gratitude returns a gift to the giver; not receiving a gift with gratitude makes the giver feel rejected.
If someone repeatedly rejects your gifts, will you keep giving? I think not. If the universe gives to you and you don’t graciously receive, will it keep giving?
Most people who don’t have enough love and/or money actually block receiving them, just like they block compliments. The underlying cause of this block is often a deep belief of unworthiness and lack of confidence. So what can you do? …
For an abundance of love and/or wealth,
you must be open to receiving!
When someone gives you a compliment,
gift, opportunity or present,
joyously and gratefully receive it.
You’ll be amazed at how happy it makes
you, and the giver, feel!
We don’t choose to expose ourselves to radioactivity because, depending on the dose, it will cause mild sickness or even death. But to a great extent, we do choose the people we spend our time with, and some can be as emotionally toxic to our minds (and, therefore, our success and happiness) as plutonium is to our bodies.
