MESSAGE #981 ACCOUNTABILITY

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Today’s message is especially dedicated to the great, Eileen Sinett.

Goal setting is one of the keys to peak performance. But goal setting is not enough. You need to have an accountability partner to keep you on track.

Recently, I had a meeting with speech coach, Eileen Sinett. Eileen is writing a book, but has put it off lately. Well, I’m helping her reach her goal. Sinett wants to finish the first draft of her book by July 31, 2010. To ensure that she makes that happen, we made a not-so-friendly wager.

If Eileen does not reach her goal, she must take me and my girlfriend, Sarah to dinner anyplace we want…on the planet.

I told her I always wanted to go to Paris.

Do you think she won’t get it done?

Time will tell, but I have faith in her. So set your goals and get an accountability partner.

And Eileen, get writing…

Thanks for reading.

MESSAGE #978 WIN

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

Today’s message is especially dedicated to the great D.A. Abrams, Executive Director and COO of the USTA Eastern Section.

 

I may not know you, but I know this about you…

You want to win more…in sports, sales, school, relationships, music, etc.

Here’s how you do it: Don’t focus on winning!

Focus on the things that will help you win more.

1. Write down exactly what you want to accomplish

2. Write down three things you can do each day to get closer to that goal.

3. Do those three things!

4. Repeat.

And if you really want to ensure that you will reach your goals, find an accountability partner, who you will talk to at least once a week to make sure you are on track. (If you know you are going to talk to that person, you will be more likely to get the important things done.)

Remember what WIN stands for…

MESSAGE #936 VISION

The best way to predict the future is to create it.
-ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Today’s message is especially dedicated to the great Vicky Lelgant in Los Angeles. Happy Birthday to an amazing artist.

What’s your vision?

I had a vision of an artist turning me into an anime character, for my website and promotional items, as well as for a comic book I am writing.

Enter Vicky Lelgant, a former tennis student of mine, who graduated from SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) and currently living in Los Angeles. I asked Vicky if she could take on this task. She said yes.

The finished product is seen above in my blog’s welcome message. I am more than pleased with it.

Some people dream and others stay awake and make things happen.

What is your vision? What do you want to accomplish? Who do you want to become? What steps are you taking to get you there?

Remember, the best way to predict the future…is to create it.
