“You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.”

Anthony Robbins

As a Mental Toughness Coach, whether I’m dealing with a client for weight loss, Peak Performance, relationships, or in business, I find that the majority of them already know what to do.  How do I know this? Simple, when I offer up a solution to them, they say , “I already know that,” or “I already tried that”.  When I hear these types of statements, two things come rolling off my tongue:

1)      Trying is Lying (If you say you are going to “try” to do something, you’re lying to yourself; you ain’t gonna do it.)

2)      Knowing is not the same as Doing (Duh!)

I make my money by holding clients accountable to actually DO the action steps they already KNOW to DO.  The sad truth is, most folks never become Peak Performers.  Peak Performers use Mental Toughness tools to self-focus on doing what they know, and make a habit of doing the things they know they need to do in order to succeed.  For example, everyone knows that shoving an OREO (or whatever your “OREO” is) into your mouth is not helping you achieve your weight loss goals.  We all know it, and most of us do it anyway.  We also know that an apple is a healthful snack, and one that will help in achieving the weight loss goal, but we pick the OREO instead.

Ask yourself this question: “Am I doing what I know needs to be done in order to succeed? And if not, why not?”

Doing what you know to do is simple, not easy, but simple.  And it is work, but it pays huge rewards.  Stop looking for the “Secret” you don’t know and start doing what you already know to do and then check your res1ults in 90 days.

Boo yah!
