Episode Highlights: James outlined his vital daily practice in a viral blog post. When he doesn’t do this practice consistently, his life feels off. He needs a daily practice to be at his best. Sometimes when you're an entrepreneur so many things can go wrong. It can be very difficult and stressful. There was a time when James felt blocked and on the precipice of depression. He realized he wasn't doing his daily practice and even just starting it again helped him. Are you taking care of yourself in tiny ways? Are you just attempting to do 1% more for your physical health, emotional health, creative health, and spiritual health? James describes an experience where someone was stealing from him and he decided to take extreme ownership. Are you improving your relationships and distancing yourself from toxic relationships? Are you eating well, sleeping well, and exercising? James likes to get good at the things he’s passionate about. By interviewing peak performers and reading about them he seeks to understand how to skip a line. Are there smart things you can do to achieve better performance faster? There’s a physical and emotional component to getting better at something. When you skip a line in any field, you're going to have people who don't like you. In order to achieve any kind of peak performance, you have to find your own unique voice in that area of life. If you just improve a little bit each day, your improvement gets compounded. James shares the story of how Richard Branson started Virgin Air. The ability to “ready, fire, aim” is a key characteristic of high achievers. Peak performers have a dedication to learning. In general, peak performers are very kind people that you want to be around. James shares an experience that demonstrates Ken Langone’s intensity. Many peak performers are very intense and they know exactly where to drill down to get the most information possible and as quickly as possible to understand the situation. Peak performers bring intensity and curiosity to everything. Brian Grazer produces movies because he's insanely curious. He schedules one curiosity conversation every week. Peak performers don’t accept no as an answer. Tyra Banks knew ANTM would succeed but was turned down again and again. James has confidence when he is excited about something. He's only able to persuade people when he's excited about something. In his late 40s, he decided he wanted to try standup comedy once. He tried it and loved it. Smoking crack bias = thinking the activities you have invested in have value no matter what. Always ask what you aren’t looking at. A lot of the skills people think they need to learn are not actual skills. Entrepreneurship is not a skill. It's an umbrella of skills. James found standup comedy to be a very complicated skill to acquire. They discuss the cumulative effects of becoming good at one skill and how that does and does not transfer to other areas. Standup comedy helped public speaking but public speaking did not help standup comedy. In the 90s, James created websites for big companies and started his first business. He quickly realized you need to be able to convince people about your vision. Because he had a technological background, he knew every company needed a website. There's no wall between business and creativity. Art is very much a business endeavor. Building a platform is a business skill. His morning is devoted to writing and creativity. Writing has been the flagship of his creativity for thirty years. Software development helps James to understand or manage software development projects. He keeps track of the latest developments in software so that he's never behind the times. He programmed software to model the stock market. Having a software background helps you to understand what is the simplest, most rational solution to a situation. When you have too many factors, you're probably analyzing incorrectly. He professionally self-published Choose Yourself. Figure out who the gatekeepers are and how to get around them. In every area of your life, you can choose yourself. He wasn't focused on money and instead did what his art wanted him to do. The best way you can prove yourself is by being the best you that you can be. He still feels insecure and has felt that way since he was a child. James shares his funny Madoff story that doesn’t work for standup. James tells us about his HBO web show. Interviewing is an ongoing thing that you learn. I think it's an art form. When interviewing, prepare really well so that the person is shocked by how much you know about them. Sometimes a good podcast is really about the entertainment value. You only need a little bit of the podcast to be educational. No matter what, you have to be good at something. Deliver value. Be entertaining. Find the right platform. 3 Key Points: Decide to be 1% better each day in ways that serve your emotional, physical, creative, and spiritual health. Learning from others allows you to “skip a line” and get better at gaining a skill more quickly. The cumulative effects of becoming good at one skill can often transfer to other skills.

År 2014 har för min del varit ett ganska omvälvande år. Stora saker har hänt - både jobbiga och positiva. Min totala känsla av året är att jag lärt mig mycket - både om mig själv och om hur man faktiskt tar sig igenom ganska komplicerade livshändelser, så även om året faktiskt hamnar lite på minus totalt sett när jag summerar, så känner jag ändå att jag tar med mig en hel del positiva saker från året som gått.Speciellt positivt är det att utvecklingskurvan går åt rätt håll på de flesta av livets olika områden. Det ena ger liksom det andra - och en av de viktigaste delarna är förstås mitt eget fysiska välmående, som är det som påverkar hur jag mentalt bemöter alla andra delar av mitt liv. Från att ha tangerat all time high i vikt i våras, så har min fysiska status förbättrats ganska mycket, och är nu på väg mot den punkt där jag kan känna mig tillfreds med mig själv. Och sen i september har Lotta varit en viktig del i den utvecklingen. Under hösten har vi jobbat både med träning, kost och mentalt må-bra-tänk, och i vår nyårskrönika utvecklar vi detta lite mer i detalj. Även om det är en bit kvar, så känns det som om allt är på rätt väg och att 2015 kommer att bli ett bra år! Jag (Lotta) som är mästare på name-dropping här kommer lite klargörande om vilka det är som jag pratar om: Karin Lundqvist: Regerande svensk mästare i Beachvolley, vårt landslag i beachvolley och min föredetta landslagskompis. http://www.karinlundqvist.com Phil Learney som är min mentor, vän och kollega: http://phillearney.com Charles Poliquin mannen med styrketräningsstrateigernas Mecka.

"Island Girl" is a true story of a young girl who was born and raised in a 2-room house on St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. Margaret talks about her adventures and experiences and how she raised her family. "Born in 1940, 1 of 9 children of a St. Barth’s fisherman and his hard-working wife, Margaret Greaux met more challenges than most of us will ever face in a lifetime. Raised in tiny 2-room house in Frenchtown on St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, she learned about life and love – first from her close-knit family, then from her devoted husband, Paul Wikander. Establishing herself as the first female VP of an airline, Virgin Air, Margaret earned respect, alongside her pilot husband, in a male-dominated profession. 'Island Girl' is a peek inside her scrapbook, revealing her remarkable journey." – Review by Susan Granger "If you know Margaret Wikander, reading 'Island Girl' is a must. This is a woman of courage, fortitude and great love. Her blueprint of growing up on the island of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands with 7 brothers and sisters in a 2-room house to the present-day is a lesson in perseverance and loyalty to family and friends. The chronicling of her life in 'Island Girl' is yet another example of her belief that "hard work, determination and know what you want out of life is the key to success." - Review by James Mapes "Your book brought back many memories of Frenchtown & how life used to be. I remember the 'Specials' your mom used to make, I think they were a penny each. It may have been a difficult journey, but well worth the experiences." - Review by Gloria M. Thomas
