A few months back I reached out over social media to see if anybody had a story they wanted to share on the show.  What came off the back of that is something that has only yielded more positivity and enjoyment in my life.  Tim Cooper who runs the Tim Cooper Academy with great success, is a lifestyle coach that has impacted many people's lives for the better.   This guy had never ever met me before and invited myself, and my social media team, into his apartment for this recording.  A great example of who he is as a person.  Open and honest with nothing to hide.  The story you are about to hear I had absolutely zero knowledge of beforehand.  It is one that absolutely every person I know should listen to because we have all made mistakes.  However have we honestly all learnt from them though? Have we honestly all gone out there and hunted for the lives we want to lead?  I highly doubt it. Tim's “7 steps to Success” are a method to finding that path we all deep down want to be living.  If that is not a reason to listen to this episode then listening to Tim's dog Brian tearing around the room is.  Since this episode Tim and I speak pretty much once a week and I count him as a very good friend of mine  You will see why after listening to this episode. What does this episode have in store for you? Tim tells us his story that took him to some very dark places and what ultimately bought him onto the amazing path he's on today. School – University – Job – Retirement. Tim tells us how it can actually have a negative affect on people's mind-sets. Failure.  Tim addresses this topic in detail and how he get's his clients to think about failure going forward. Tim talks to us about the difference between the ‘Growth Mindset' and the ‘Fixed Mindset”. Tim talks us through his seven step strategy to creating greatness? Tim tells us what he thinks makes the difference between people that succeed and people that don't? Tim talks us through the ‘Ultimate Success Map'. Tim tells us his initial piece of advice for an individual in their 20's and 30's who is lost and does not have a direction? What is next for Tim Cooper?  What is the next 12-18 months going to bring?

You've been working to solve the 'problem' but in reality, it's just a symptom. Spend some time this week and take that symptom and start to peel away the onion.

I think you’re all really going to love my conversation with founder of Peak Performance Group and profitability expert, Thor Conklin. He first caught wind of entrepreneurship while caddying for successful businesspeople at the age of 13. Not only did he help them navigate through challenging golf courses, he also asked questions, listened and learned tips on navigating his own businesses down the road. Of course he didn’t start any at that age, but he credits many foundational elements to that time in his life.   Today, Thor does his best to pay it forward by being the “caddie” for others in their businesses by helping them maneuver around problem areas or obstacles that can stray one off their path to profitability. He challenges his clients (and others) to use accountability as a tool to reach new levels of success (hint: you don’t have to do it alone!).   I love how Thor operates both in his businesses and his life – giving both his time and money to ensure others are moving forward to create maximum results (see special offer below). Be sure to listen to the full episode as he drops some amazing nuggets of knowledge that can help you get out of your own way and take action.   --   Question Highlights: Being a caddie, and being around business people, what’s the lesson that stands out the most to you? Who’s one of the people who’s had the biggest impact on the successful life you live? What does it mean to be a senior leader with Tony Robbins, and what kind of exposure did you have to him? What kind of impact has this relationship had on your life? Do you have a preparation ritual before you speak to or meet with people? Do you feel like the most successful people have some sort of strong morning ritual they start with? What are your thoughts when it comes to entrepreneurs regarding profit vs. revenue? Do you think we live in a time where people are being overfed knowledge? What’s typically the biggest waste you see when you dig into someone’s profitability? Do you have any tips to help people stop their limiting mindsets? What are your thoughts on profit? Have you seen a correlation between profit and impact? What role has generosity played in your life?     In This Episode You Will Learn:   How Thor used his job as caddie when he was younger to learn about business How Thor became a senior leader within the Tony Robbins Organization Why a morning ritual is part of most successful people’s lives What work/life balance means to Thor How PEAK Performance is able to help you – Profitability, Execution, Accountability and Knowledge Why execution and accountability trump knowledge What components make up Thor’s Ultimate Success Map Why it’s so important to find someone that you pay to hold you accountable Tips to help stop limiting beliefs Thor’s views on profit That there is no honor in trying to do things alone And so much more…   Chris’s Thoughts…   “If you can’t turn those sales into profits and those profits into cash, then why are we doing what we’re doing?”   “Most people think that they’re business owners, but their business owns them.”   “People know what to do. They just can’t figure out how to get it done.”   “Knowledge is not power. Correct knowledge applied properly is power.”   “We don’t want to admit that the problem might be us.”   “You need to make money so you can give it away.”   “I want to know that I had a hand in the psychology, the process and the actions of an individual.”   “Wealth is a byproduct of a value provided to the marketplace.”   -- Thor Conklin is a business owner, author, Consultant and content-driven podcaster. As an entrepreneur, the first company Thor created was a global risk management consulting firm in 1999 that served the private equity community.

We answer your questions - Determining what to say yes to will greatly affect the quality of your life.  Learn to say NO!     Episode_42_QA_June_19_2016 Thor:    The question of the day is… FS:    This question of the day comes in from Diane from Ann Arbor, and Diane writes she’s heard you talk about taking your commitments very seriously and only saying yes to things once you’ve given it some real thought. She’s having trouble deciding how to know what to say yes to, what to say no to, and just in general how to go about the decision making process. Thor:    Great question. This comes up a lot with my clients, and I’ll tell you this. What a lot of people do is they follow the crowd or what other people are doing. A lot of times, that’s not the action you want to take or the direction that you want to take.     Here’s how I do it and here’s how most peak performers do it. First is we have an inner standard – an inner compass. We have a guideline in which we make decisions. I’ll give you a great example. After my divorce, I found myself single and I found the process of who I wanted to date and who I didn’t want to date kind of confusing. I think a lot of people enter into that area and go, “Okay, what does he or she look like? I want chemistry.” I kept hearing that word chemistry.  I said, “I want to get some idea of – how do I break that down so I’m not going through kind of a trial and error.” I said, “What’s important to me in a person?” I came up with six I’s. The first one is Identity. The second one is Interest. Third one, Eye Candy (I know it’s an E, but eye candy) – and these are in no particular order: Intimacy, Intellect, and the last one is Invisible – just kind of that gut feeling. So very quickly, as soon as I came up with this, I could very quickly go through, “Okay, is this someone I could see myself with long term? Are they intelligent enough? What are their interests? She has to have her interests and I have to my interests, but at some point, we have to have shared interests of course. As soon as I put that together, it made the process very easy, because I go out on a date or two and I’m like, “You know what? Our interests really aren’t aligned here. What her identity is showing up – and again, that one takes a little bit longer – is not the type of individual that’s going to be a good fit for me long term. So without that, it was kind of a trial and error and quite frankly, what do most guys lean towards if they don’t have any guidelines? FS:    The eye candy. Thor:    Exactly. FS:    Did you feel pressured to go that way initially? Thor:    Well, I didn’t have any other guideline or anything else to go by, you know? FS:    Yeah, so you talked to yourself. You consulted with yourself. Thor:    I stepped back and I said, “There’s got to be a better way of doing this.” FS:    You’ve talked about that before about having an inner dialogue that pushes you in your own direction, because that’s what peak performers do. They force their own path. Thor:    Absolutely. This way, we can make decisions quickly. You know, you don’t want to spend 50 dates trying to figure out if this is a good fit for you. FS:    Right. Thor:    And again, it wasn’t like, you know, black and white, check the box or something. But it gave me the guidelines and very quickly allowed me to move through that process. This needs to be a written process – and again, I’m not just talking about dating here. You’ve got to have a set of standards of what you’re willing to do, what you’re not willing to do, where you’re going. You’ve got to be focused on whether this action is going to move you closer to your goals or further away from your goals – The Ultimate Success Map – that’s what I use all the time. I go through that system: what do I want? What do I need? What’s an effective plan to get there? It’s got to be quantifiable, which is another aspect of it. How do I say yes and no to things? Is it moving me closer to my goals and do I have these inner dialogues that I have standards for, and this is the way that I proceed in life. FS:    And really you could make like a 6 I’s. Your 6 I’s were specific to relationships, but you could make a 6 I’s for anything. Thor:    You should! Absolutely. FS:    What business to purchase. Thor:    Yes. FS:    What weight loss program to choose. Thor:    Yeah, absolutely! Look, there’s many paths to success, okay? This is just not one path. But you’ve got to make sure that this path is going to get you to where you want to go. Too often, people spend too much time doing things that aren’t moving them in the right direction. The reason they don’t know that in many cases is because they have no inner standards. FS:    No inner set of guidelines and they commit too early. They commit before they’ve decided if they even can do that thing. Thor:    Absolutely. FS:    Yeah. Great, thank you so much. Thor:    All right. Question of the Day: Where in your life are you missing the standards – the guidelines? Call to Action: Figure out what those standards, those guidelines, that inner map. Quantify it, write that down, and use that in the decision making process.
