In this episode…
How many things in life have
defeated you? Looking back, how many of those defeats were because
of a breakdown in your will… you simply didn’t want it badly
enough?
Those are some of the most
difficult questions to answer, both because we don’t naturally tend
toward knowing ourselves that well, and because we are not
adequately trained to make those assessments about ourselves and
our lives from an early age.
Today’s conversation with Dr.
Jeff Spencer may help you make up for some lost ground in those
areas. Dr. Spencer is a performance coach for people ranging from
elite athletes to high profile business figures like Sir Richard
Branson. His insights are not the common “trust the universe”
mantra, but something more practical and real.
The Champion’s Blueprint, step
by step
On this episode of Inspired
Insider, Dr. Spencer shares the basic steps of his “Champion’s
Blueprint” methodology, unpacking a wealth of knowledge about how
our minds and wills operate, why our cultures typical “gap
approach” to achievement and performance is proven to be
antithetical to high levels of achievement, and how you can begin
training your mind to propel you to the levels of accomplishment
you desire.
If you’re looking for mindset
tips to increase performance, Dr. Spencer is the guy to point you
in the right direction.
In his work with athletes and
business leaders Dr. Spencer has had the opportunity to not only
mentor people to greater levels of success, but to continue honing
his performance theories and his understanding of human
achievement. The lessons he’s learned in the trenches of his own
athletic career (he was an Olympian back in the day), business
consulting, and performance coaching continues to serve himself and
others in a variety of powerful ways.
So grab a cup of coffee and a
notepad and get ready to learn - about yourself, your failures,
your successes, and what’s possible when you develop a champion’s
mindset.
Our massive thanks goes out to
Dr. Jeff Spencer for giving us so much time and such powerful
information.
