Whether it is an idea, your visions, your passion, or even yourself, everyone sells something. Life is selling. You sell yourself to work, to a potential life partner, friends, and even people you barely know. Selling is a survival instinct that is deeply ingrained in us.

It is quite easy to define your value or worth based on what you do in life because we equate power with position and title. For most people, it can be easy to get caught up in the things that are visible for everyone to see whether you are a star athlete, a real estate investor or business owner etc...  We sometimes have to remind ourselves that who we ARE is actually more important than what we do. This simple statement is easy to forget, but it's something we could all use as a daily reminder.  Personally, in my own journey there have been times when I put more value on what I am able to do as a coach and as a mindset specialist than celebrating who I am as a person. Enjoy this short message with some thoughts and reminders I hope will bring you back to who you are...

TIME OUT - TOP PODCAST REPLAY Coach Gord is taking a personal TIME OUT and will be releasing a top downloaded podcast or two from early 2020... Thanks for all your ongoing support and enjoy these again or for the first time...!    Whether in sports or in business, mental toughness may often appear to be instinctive in top performers but it's actually a set of skills and tools that anyone can learn and develop.  You must have the right MINDSET if you want to have success in anything. It doesn't matter if you are trying to create a championship team or start a successful business; the behavioral and psychological principles are always the same. Average performers tend to quit long before they ever reach their goals and dreams. They allow discouragement, fear and self-doubt to keep them from achieving their true potential. The common denominator amongst those who fail consistently is a lack of mental toughness and a fixed mindset. This week's Time Out message shares the secret to developing more mental toughness in your life so more of your objectives, goals, and dreams become a reality...!  Thanks for joining me. Make it a great day...!

Learning HOW to engage other people started the day we began to interact a few months into life when we gained control of our physical motor functions... As a baby, we would pull hair or even bite others without knowing it was not the way to engage other humans. As we got older the same thing, don't say that and don't do that, and so on.  To have good relationships and influence with others, it's not that you engage, it's HOW you engage people...! Take a TIME OUT and see what I mean... Thanks for tuning in, enjoy. leave a comment and a like if you would please... Merci...!

When we think of a Mindset, most people associate that with the different ways that people think and behave to process their thoughts to live their daily lives. A person's mindset is usually a set of beliefs, methods, or ideas to establish an individual personal pathway, philosophy of life and/or how they view the world. Your Mindset declaration to being “Growth” or “Fixed” is your recognition of the set of learned behaviors that outline your philosophy of life and is an ongoing journey. Establishing and learning a Mindset Continuum simplifies the journey by understanding how to develop a pathway to becoming progressively more growth-oriented in your Mindset. Welcome to this week's TIME OUT and the Mindset Continuum… what is it and how to leverage it… Thanks for tuning in… Enjoy…!

Mental Health and Wellness has been a very big focal point of discussion, especially in the past 4-5 years. It seems to have a very big effect on athletics, business, family life, and school as well there seems to be no discrimination.  With a growing number of people experiencing a decline in their mental health, society is becoming much more aware and much better equipped to respond to the needs of people who suffer from this affliction. However, the stigma around mental illness and seeking specific help remains. This is our TIME OUT subject matter today BUT just a few points to get us started... Let's make a difference and END THE STIGMAS connected to Mental Health... Thanks for tuning in...! 

We don't like to be uncomfortable and we certainly don't like to hurt. But, as an interesting quirk of human psychology, we can't achieve our maximum levels of personal life satisfaction without growth, and growth only ever comes through effort and sometimes that hurts. Success requires us to pay a price... If you know the price to pay it won't be that painful, but if you don't act on what you want to do or say to be successful you could regret it forever...and that's painful! Let's take a TIME OUT and talk about the 2 Pains and what they're all about...  Thanks for tuning in...Enjoy.   

Hard work, passion, perseverance, and attention to detail often lead to success in business and in athletics and builds what we call the BIG MO...momentum. Many do not realize this, but Celebration is the key to continuing the momentum that has been created and the momentum is further enhanced by celebrating victories no matter how big or how small. Whatever your successes are, practicing gratitude and celebrate them! Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the TIME OUT

My guest to the podcast this week is a young superstar, hockey goaltender, and Quebec-born, Francis Marotte. Frank as I know him, played on the Junior A hockey team I was the Performance Mindset Coach for in the CCHL in Ottawa. Maximizing his opportunity in Junior hockey, he went on to have 4 strong years of stellar goaltending in NCAA, Division 1 hockey. He was recognized and rewarded for his hard work and is now officially a professional athlete after signing with the NHL New Your Islanders organization.

Success for life has basic rules and standards to live by. If we want to make good connections with others and be successful in just about anything we do following these rules will help a whole lot!  It's not complicated but it's not always easy as well. Being responsible takes discipline, being resilient takes courage and to earn respect you have to give it. Take a short TIME OUT with me and enjoy this message on the 3 R's... thanks for tuning in...!

My good friend, Junior A and High School Coach, Oak Moser sits with me to discuss the mindset angle in hockey from his perspective.

Don't get him started... LOL. Enjoy our discussion. 

This week's TIME OUT message is an outline for what I believe are 5 1/2 good rules for success in life...
