4 Keys To Peak Performance

We cheer them on at sporting events. They lift our spirits and inspire us during good movies and theater performances. We open our hearts and minds to them when we hear their speeches.

There is no doubt about it, peak performers touch us in ways no one else can. Why is that? What is it that makes us cheer? Why do we instantly flood our bodies with emotions when they touch us?

Deep inside each of us we have the natural desire to perform at our peak. When we see someone perform at peak, internally we yearn to release our own greatness. It brings to surface our own hidden desires.

Being a top performer is something anyone can accomplish. The following four principles are triggers for releasing optimal results in anything we chose.

1) Step away from the crowd; Statistics prove only 3% in any given field reign as top performers. Whether you are talking business, sports, or the arts, most of the 97% are average at best. The rest linger on just doing enough to barely get by. Therefore the first step in becoming a peak performer is to separate ourselves from the crowd. Top performers know that mediocrity is the norm. Fear has become the dominating thought of these in the 97%. They fear looking bad. They fear failure. Many even fear success.

Peak performers distance themselves from this crowd. They courageously move beyond fear. No one ever wants to look bad, but peak performers never allow that fear to take hold of them. They negotiate risk intelligently. And although at times plans don’t work out as expected, they find something within the supposed failure to make the next attempt that much better.

Look at what the 97% of the people in your industry do, and then do the exact opposite. That is the first step to standing out within your field.

2) Do more than what is expected; Learn to consistently demand more from yourself than anyone could ever expect of you. Remember, most of the 97% are either sitting on mediocrity or just getting by. Expectations are low to begin with. You would be surprised to learn how little demanding more of yourself really is. It could be just 5 more sales calls. Or reading one more book this month. Or it could be even inspiring just one more person.

The difference between good and great isn’t huge. In fact, the difference is so small it’s a shame that most people never even try. But because of that, because people don’t do the little things that can move them from good to great, it leaves a void for us to easily fill. The “great” spots are wide open, waiting for us to jump right in.

Find what you need do to demand more of yourself. It doesn’t need to be a huge thing. However, doing the little things will get you noticed instantly. People will begin recognizing you as a peak performer the second you demand more of yourself than others expect.

3) Get a coach; Every peak performer, again whether we are talking business, sports or the arts, utilize the power of coaching. Coaching gives you an outside perspective you cannot attain on your own. Many times a coach will help you make minor adjustments that will instantly lead you to success.

Everyone needs a fresh perspective, an outside influence. The right coach will inspire, direct, compliment, and literately eliminate years of trial and error learning curves. A good coach is indispensable to peak performance.

4) Imagination; In studying peak performers, one thing is clear, they all make use of there imagination. In variably, people who stand out in their chosen field regularly take time to review, rehearse and literately perform mentally. They prepare their bodies by first preparing their mind’s.

During these mental rehearsals, peak performers focus on one thing and one thing only, a perfect performance. By consistent repetition, sometimes hundreds, or even thousands of times, they create a neuro-pathway in their brains. Their minds are tricked into familiarity. This allows their bodies to perform relaxed and smooth.

Take time daily to devote to your own imagination. Create a perfect scenario in your mind. See it as you would want it to be. Make it real for yourself. Use repetition and make it better each time. Then bring it to life with action.

Achieving peak performance is a science. You now know the peak performance formula. The ingredients are at your disposal. Set them in motion consistently and join the 3% crowd. By doing so you will be at the top of your game, and you will become an inspiration for others.

Starting a Home Business

Why has there never been a better time than right now to start a home business?

There Has Never Been a Better Time in History to Start an Online Home Business.

There are a bunch of great reasons to start a home business, but the three most relevent in these economic conditions are:

1. With the unemployment rate rising weekly, and no sign of receding any time soon, millions of people will be looking for work. It will be quite some time before the job market is restored to any kind of normalcy, especially in areas like retail. More and more people will be looking online for opportunities, and those who get in now will be perfectly positioned to help them to establish work from home businesses.
2. By leveraging the explosion in social networking sites, otherwise known as Web 2.0, virtually anyone has the ability to establish and grow a internet-based home business for a very modest investment. All the advantages of owning a small business are here, but the cost of entry is miniscule.
3. With so many opportunities available, there may never be a better time to create multiple streams of income, and passive residual income - the key to long term success in a home business.
4. No one knows how deep or long this recession / depression is going to last, and those positioning themselves as leaders in network marketing now will never have to worry about needing a job or depending on the economy or anything else to make a great living.

Jump in now, because the timing may never be more perfect.

When You Own a Home Business...

You can definitely be working more hours than you ever have in your life - and for a time it will feel like you're spinning your wheels. But, once you start seeing results, the fruition of all the work done and time put in,there will be a level of satisfaction that can't be measured. This is the essence of owning an internet-based home business.

Beyond the satisfaction is a freedom you've never known before:

• Financial freedom - The key is taking advantage of passive income, which is money coming in on a regular basis without a lot of effort required to maintain it, and multiple streams of income, which is simply having many different sources of revenue. There are many ways in a network marketing business to leverage your efforts to create this residual income, and once it is established it creates the ideal scenario where your business is working hard even when you aren't. This allows you a luxury few people can afford - time. The time to spend with your family, time to spend doing the things you love, and time to spend developing even more sources of income. Combine that with the tax advantages and low overhead, and you have the living definition of financial freedom.

• Freedom in your life - Want to take a few days off on the spur of a moment?
  
• The residual income you've established means your business is always working even when you are not. You need to take care of the kids, or want to play golf during the day? This kind of business has no "hours", other than those you set. You can work at night and take the days off. You can work all weekend if you choose. You can do it part time while you still have a regular 9-5. The level of freedom an internet-based home business affords is unparalleled. Between managing employees, controlling inventory, doing the bookkeeping, and marketing the business, it is a never ending process that offers little breathing room.

Your income is based solely on how hard and smart you work, especially in the beginning. But when and how much you choose to work is up to you.

Many people start home businesses while still holding 9-5 jobs, allowing them to build the business at their own pace, and prepare for the day they are able to say goodbye to the J.O.B. Having the home business, even part-time,enables you to benefit from the tax advantages a business owner enjoys.

Regardless of the path you have taken to get to this point, a work at home business will provide you with the opportunity to start abusiness from scratch without necessarily investing a lot of money.

Then build it at your own pace into whatever you want it to be.

The level o fcompensation depends completely on your efforts, and there is nobody to answer to but yourself (or your spouse if you're both involved!).

Go ahead. Try and find this kind of freedom anywhere else in the working world.
