Get out of the hamster wheel! Use every single day wisely with Smart-Performance for your goals, your dreams - for your life!
What makes an athlete a real champion? How do good CEOs manage to make companies successful in both good and bad times? Why do some people lead a life that is fulfilling in every respect and others do not?
What characterizes almost all great personalities is a strong mindset - the growth mindset. People who learn continue to develop. They grow. And that determines their success.
This power in your head also enables you to lead a successful and fulfilling life:
A life of smart performance and high quality!
Your mindset is the beliefs you have about yourself and your fundamental qualities. Your mindset is the ideas you have about your intelligence, your talents and your personality.
These thoughts influence your way of thinking, your attitude to life and, subsequently, your decisions and actions. They have a decisive influence on how successful, fulfilled and happy you lead your life.
People with a power mindset believe that their fundamental qualities can be developed with dedication, commitment and effort. That intellect and talent are merely the starting points.
With this mindset, people can develop a love of learning and resilience. Both qualities that are necessary for great achievements. Neither Mozart, Darwin nor Michael Jordan achieved their success based on talent alone.
They achieved success through years of dedication, continuous learning, consistent work and practice.
How are you doing? - Can you answer "yes" to this question with 100% conviction? "Success and happiness is not a goal in itself. Being successful and happy is a way of life!"
Do you know this feeling? Days, weeks, months and years go by ... You keep asking yourself, what happened to all those things I wanted to do? Why didn't I just do this or that?
The first step to achieving your goals and realizing your dreams is to get clear about what you really want ...
"He who knows his goal will find the way" - Lao Tzu
Circumstances, our environment and, above all, we change in the course of our lives. Accordingly, our desires, our "I-wills" and our goals will also change.
Don't expect your first "I want" list to be THE list that you will stick to for the rest of your life.
The "I want" list will and should change!
What is your big vision of yourself? Where do you want to go? What do you want to do? What do you want your life to look like? The more detailed, the more vividly you can visualize this vision, the more real it will become for you. And ... The bigger your vision, the more ambitious your goals, the more you will achieve!
Your "I want list" is huge - you can't do everything at once ... But how are you supposed to decide what is most important to you right now?
Setting priorities is an important process on the path to success and fulfillment in life. And it requires the strength to be able to make decisions ...
Take your "I want list" in your hand, start the video and take the first step now.
The "I want" list is usually very large. It represents both an idea and a broadly conceived plan for your life over the next 5-10 years. However, as you can't do everything at once, you first set your priorities. Once you've done that, it's time to take the next step. This is the first step in your smart planning: define your annual goals! "Think in decades, plan in years, work in months and live in days!"
The road to success is often long and challenging. The initial motivation is rarely enough to consistently stick to your goals. The initial enthusiasm is not enough to overcome the recurring hurdles and barriers ...
You can only make your way in the long term with a strong mindset.
So how do you build a strong mindset? What characteristics, attitudes and actions ensure that you are in your power mindset? And what ensures that you keep developing, keep at it and are therefore successful and happy?
Clear goals, smart planning and consistent implementation, supplemented by your POWER-MINDSET, will lead you to your smart performance and high-quality life!
Yes, there are many different and difficult circumstances ...
But in 99% of cases in life, you can do something to change and improve your situation. As Aristotle said: "We cannot change the wind, but we can change the sails."
Some people never seem to run out of energy. It seems as if they effortlessly jump from success to success, as if their enthusiasm and motivation have no limits and nothing can stop them.
How do they manage to successfully realize one venture after another? How do they manage to live at full speed without interruption and at the same time have time for fun, friends, family and themselves? What does it look like in reality? And above all:
How do you manage to live a smart-performance, high-quality life?
The right time to do something is now!
You'll never really "feel like" taking on a challenging project, starting something new or changing your life...
So if you have an idea in your head and think to yourself, "Yes, it would be great to do that ...", take the first step as soon as possible! - Before the first doubts arise and you think to yourself "I can't do that now ..."
"The secret of getting ahead is taking the first step." - Mark Twain
Everyone is afraid. Fear of the unknown, fear of loss, fear of making mistakes ...
But whether you let this fear control you and find thousands of excuses or whether you put yourself in your power mindset and learn to see challenges as an opportunity for growth - that's up to you ...
"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing your enthusiasm." - Winston Churchill
You yourself are your most important coach. Put yourself in the state of your desired success. Visualize the state of your success and happiness ... And believe in yourself!
"Whether you think you can or you can't, you'll be right no matter what." - Henry Ford
Making decisions has a lot to do with personal responsibility. We often refuse to do so for fear of making the wrong decision. Only no decision is also a decision ...
And only those who can make decisions (with all the consequences) can move forward in their lives.
"Easy decisions - hard life. Hard decisions - easy life."
Successful people believe that their basic qualities can be developed with dedication, commitment and effort. That intellect and talent are merely the starting points.
With this attitude, people can develop a love of learning and resilience. Both qualities that are necessary for great achievements.
Neither Mozart, Darwin nor Michael Jordan achieved their success based on talent alone. They achieved success through years of dedication, continuous learning, consistent work and practice.
"To learn something and become more practiced at it over time, is that not also a joy?" - Confucius
Do you sometimes have the feeling that everyone else has a certain talent, but not you? Do you drop most ideas before they have even really entered your head, because you can't do it anyway? Do you constantly doubt your skills and expertise?
Howard Gardner, Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, states in his book "Extraordinary Minds":
"Particularly successful people possess a 'special ability'. They can identify their own strengths and weaknesses."
People with a fixed mindset are afraid of making mistakes. For them, making mistakes means being labeled a failure ...
Sure, learning from mistakes can be unpleasant ...
But people with a growth mindset see mistakes as an opportunity to learn, develop and grow!
"A person who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." - Albert Einstein
Behind great achievements is a lot of hard work, personal commitment over a long period of time and a lot of failures. There is no such thing as an overnight success!
A lot happened before the light bulb was invented ...
"I did not fail. I found 10,000 ways that didn't work." - Thomas A. Edison
To go your own way, you need to know your goal. To achieve your goal, you have to stick to it consistently. But you shouldn't stubbornly pursue a goal, even if you are frustrated and unhappy most of the time...
Sometimes there are simply situations that call for a certain flexibility and openness. There's a reason why adaptability is one of the qualities that has enabled mankind to survive ...
"People seldom succeed unless they enjoy what they are doing." - Dale Carnegie
Seizing opportunities means first of all doing something to get these opportunities in the first place. Opportunities usually open up when we focus intensively on a topic, consciously get in touch with people and, above all, are open to new things.
Because when an opportunity arises, it takes courage to seize it ...
"Opportunities don't happen, you create them." - Chris Großer
Winning is a great achievement and should be celebrated. But what happens afterwards? What do you do after a win? Do you rest on your laurels?
Or do you carry on, learn, get better at what you do and grow?
"When you have climbed a high mountain, you realize that there are many other mountains to climb." - Nelson Mandela
That's a shame, because leaving our comfort zone allows us to think creatively, increases our concentration and contributes to our growth ...
Surround yourself with people who are good for you. Paradoxically, this does not mean that it will always be comfortable and cozy for you.
If you want to grow, if you want to develop, if you want to lead a fulfilled and successful life, you also need to surround yourself with people who make this possible ...
"The environment always wins." - Stewart Emery
Rome was not built in a day. And Rome wasn't built by one person either. The lone super heroes who save the world only exist in movies. The same applies everywhere else: recognize your own strengths and weaknesses, recognize the strengths and weaknesses of others and ask for help where you need it!
"My business model is the Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other's negative thoughts in check. They balanced each other out and the whole was better than the sum of the parts. That's how I look at companies: Great things in business are not created by a single person, but are accomplished as a collective." - Steve Jobs
Only in a conversation in which you show respect for the person you are talking to and pursue the desire to learn and understand will you achieve great success.
"Thought is not said. Said is not heard. Heard is not understood. Understood is not accepted."
Be critical, ask questions ... And always think for yourself!
With every decision you make: ask questions. To yourself and to other people. Before you form an opinion, get information from as many different sources as possible.
And above all: always stay curious.
... doesn't matter! You can't influence what others think about you ...
But you can influence what you think about yourself! And:
"You become what you think." - Aristotle
We divide life into 6 basic areas:
There needs to be a balance between these areas of life so that you can lead a healthy, successful, happy and fulfilling life. And indeed on all levels.
In order to lead a successful and happy life, you also have to take care of yourself, recognize your own needs and, above all, take them seriously! You are responsible for your own well-being!
"Selfish is not the one who takes care of himself, but the one who has failed to do so and now expects others to do so." - Safi Nidiaye
Nobody can work at full throttle 24/7!
The time you take for your recovery is time that allows you to work intensively, focused and really effectively during the work phases.
... and practice honest satisfaction.
Assessing your own strengths and weaknesses is just as important as recognizing your own achievements and successes.
Be aware of everything you have achieved and done. Celebrate your successes. The big ones as well as the small ones!
There are so many possibilities ...
The only person who can tell you what's right for you is you. Try out different things and find out what works best for you!
People who actually realize their big plans for the future and truly live their dreams are said to have a strong will ... But what does it actually mean to have a strong will?
"The man who carried away the mountain is the same man who began to carry away small stones."
Consistency, repetition and regular training are crucial to achieving your goals!
Consistency means working continuously and regularly on the things that are necessary. Consistency means sticking with it, not allowing excuses and picking up where others leave off. Consistency means regular training:
"Practice makes perfect!"
The difference between winners and losers is that the winners got up once again and carried on ...
The clearer your goal is, the easier it is to get there.
And the clearer your framework, the more precisely you know what you have to do and the easier it will be to achieve your goals.
"To be successful requires two things: clear goals and a burning desire to achieve them." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Smart planning and active action are an essential part of your personal development strategy. And ...
"Smart planning and active action are absolutely essential for the successful implementation of your project!"
Your defined milestones are the intermediate goals on the way to your big annual goal.
You have therefore broken down the annual goal into even smaller steps and goals. And you can keep track of your progress and correct the course you have taken at any time ...
Only the weekly task definition makes what actually needs to be done really understandable. With this tactic and the growth mindset, you break down big goals into understandable, clearly defined and feasible tasks.
And the daily to-do list ...
You need to know what needs to be done so that you can focus on the most important tasks every day. And that's what the daily to-do list is for.
Creating a to-do list is usually easy for us. The hard part is sticking to the list and successfully completing the to-dos.
Fortunately, there are a few basic rules that not only make it easier to work successfully with a to-do list, but actually make it possible in the first place!
Strong habits, a strong mindset and the right balance between ACTION and RECOVERY are the key to your long-term success!
"You start with motivation. You reach your goal through strong habits!"
Strong habit #1, #2 and #3.
Even before the day begins, you can help make it a good, successful and fulfilling day with your actions!
"Between 30 and 50 percent of our daily actions are determined by habits." - Bas Verplanken
Strong habit #4, #5.
The start of the day determines the rest of your day. So calm your mind first, take time for yourself and get in the mood for the day ahead.
"It's not about when you get up. It's about how you get up!" - Mel Robbins P.S.
The Power Journal is a wonderful tool to get your day off to a powerful start!
Strong habit #8, #9.
Whether you are satisfied with how the day went doesn't just depend on the day itself ... It is also very important how you end the day!
Is there such a thing as the perfect day?
That's not so important. The most important thing is to understand: The day to do and live something is today! The only thing that counts and determines what happens in the future is what you do today. And ...
"Success and happiness is not a goal in itself. It's a way of life!"
Train yourself in your daily satisfaction by taking OWN RESPONSIBILITY!
Use your power mantra to maintain your daily motivation!
Put your fear aside. Find the courage to take the first step!
Overcome your fear and learn step by step to face all challenges!
Visualization is an incredibly powerful tool to achieve your goals!
You can and should practise making decisions.
Don't just do things to win. Don't let difficulties put you off, but see them as an incentive. Learn and train to become better!
One of the things that makes people particularly successful is their ability to identify their own strengths and weaknesses. Recognize where your strengths and weaknesses lie!
Learning from your own mistakes is not always easy ... Use this exercise to do so!
Learn to look behind the first appearance of success and realize that behind every success there really is a lot of work and personal commitment!
Letting go is often more difficult than you might think ... But like everything else: Letting go can also be trained!
Leaving your comfort zone doesn't have to mean a huge life change ... You can also train these skills with small things that you finally just do instead of constantly putting them off until tomorrow.
Consciously look for people from whom you can learn and with whom you can develop ...
The first impulse to act is purely emotional. Practice making conscious decisions!
Learn to stop worrying about what others think of you!
How are you doing in all areas of your life?
Look deep inside yourself. Recognize and, above all, meet your needs!
Exercise your strong will!
Practice consistency and perseverance. Start with a strong morning routine!
Dedicate yourself to clear goals. Work on these goals in a focused and concentrated manner!
