Comments Off on What Does It Take to Achieve Mastery?
You’ve often heard the word mastery thrown around, but what does it actually mean to achieve mastery?
Mastery certainly has to be understood as a choice to follow your passions. Someone will not achieve mastery in any subject or endeavor without a high degree of passion for the subject or path. I like the analogy of the path of mastery. That idea suggests a conscious choice to move in a certain direction.
In the recent 3-day Coach Certification Training wrap up, we spent a great deal of time on the subject of coaching mastery. What we reflected on is that there are five primary keys to mastery: instruction, practice, surrender, intentionality and the edge. These arefrom Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment by George Leonard.
The 5 Keys to Mastery
1. Instruction speaks to the importance of learning from someone who is a master. It makes sense, doesn’t it, that you would want to learn from the best? But how do you determine that? What kind of outcomes do they get? Who instructed them? How did they learn their skill or craft? Do they know what makes them a master?
This doesn’t mean that the only form of instruction is in person; however, it will be necessary at some point. Books and videos can help you develop interests and appreciation for something, but you will not achieve mastery that way.
Another point is that not everyone who is a master at a skill is also a good teacher. Teaching itself requires a specific skill set, along with humility.
2. Practice is best illustrated by an old joke: a couple is lost in New York looking for Carnegie Hall. They stop and ask a local elder, “How do you get to Carnegie Hall?” He answers, “Practice.”
According to George Leonard, practice is the path upon which you travel, just that. It becomes part of the way you live.
As I’ve said before, most masters have put in a minimum of 10,000 hours of practice. This, of course, is an uncomfortable premise in a culture that often advertises opportunities to gain expertise in a week, a month or three or four months. This is simply not possible.
It almost goes without saying that good practice leads to good games or outcomes. There’s an old martial arts saying that goes like this: “The master is the one who stays on the mat 5 minutes longer every day than anybody else.” This is what Michael Jordan was famous for.
3. Surrender means surrendering to your teacher and to the demands of your discipline. You have to be willing to be the fool. Any new learning will, by necessity, be less than stellar. It’s the ability to adopt the learner’s mind that makes the difference. Remember the NLP presupposition that there’s no failure, only feedback.
If you ever meet someone who’s a master at piano, ask them how many endless hours they spent learning scales. Cultures where mastery is appreciated have lots of stories about the importance of being willing to do lots of seemingly endless work before you can even enter the path of mastery.
4. Intentionality: In my work with the Peruvian mystic Don Américo Yabar, he talks about the importance of setting an intent. This is a clear and unambiguous decision to be on the path. When you commit in this way to something, then you are able to marshal the willpower and stamina to stick with it. This also implies that you can imagine the outcome—the reason for doing what you’re doing. That kind of focus and willingness organizes the mind and the musculature to do what is necessary.
Almost everyone knows the importance of visualizing in sports. Jack Nicklaus used to describe his approach to golf by saying that he “never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, in-focus picture of it in my head.” He is also quoted as saying that a good golf shot is “10% swing, 40% setup, and 50% visualization.” Other professional athletes say similar things. They call it the mental game. This is the part where your beliefs really play a significant role.
5. The Edge: What is “the edge”? It is your willingness to go beyond—to go where others have not yet gone, to be an explorer. It’s where you push yourself to do things that others have not yet done.
There are lots of stories that resonate with many us of about people who push themselves in ways that appear to be foolish. Perhaps they are, but to the person doing it, it’s an expression of their willingness to go further than others go.
So think about what you want. Are you willing to put this kind of effort into what you say you want to master?
What we discovered at the Certification wrap up is that this is not a path for the faint of heart. To really chose a path of mastery is a commitment. That’s why it helps to have companions on the path; otherwise it can be very lonely. It’s why I make entrance into my certification program difficult. I want people who are committed to the path.

Comments Off on How to Tap Into Preexisting Resources
A recent article from Steve Andreas, one of my favorite NLP thinkers, offered some useful examples about the presupposition that people have all the resources they need, but they may not be applying them in the right context. The great hypnotherapist Milton Erickson described these resources as “what you know, but you don’t know that you know.”
For instance a manager might have wonderful people skills and treat his employees with care and respect, but he might end up struggling to treat his spouse well. When reminded of his abilities, he could be encouraged to treat his wife as though she were one of his valued employees.
Steve encourages those he trains to discover the areas where people are already successful and have them apply that skill set to the troubling context.
I have found that this often will work—sometimes in surprising ways—and it can be reinforced with suggestions like, “I never know how people can discover new ways to apply old skills. I’ll be curious to see what happens for you.” This presupposes that they will discover something, prompting them to take positive action using resources they already have.

Comments Off on How to Create Clarity AND an Inspiring Vision
I’ve already finished my business plan for the year, and now I’m wrapping up a visioning board that corresponds to that. A visioning board helps people create a visual representation of what they want so they can “see” where they’re going. Mine allows me take a look at my lifestyle, business and travel goals and to really set my sights—literally—on what I want to stay focused on.
It’s important to keep your overall focus in mind when planning for the year, and a visioning board can be helpful for creating the clarity you need. My clients have mentioned how advantageous it is to be clear about what they want to accomplish. Establishing this clarity has made a significant difference in their lives.
When you begin the process of creating your board, don’t just focus on your business plan. Be sure that you have a complete vision—one that takes into account what you want for yourself above and beyond your business.
Creating Your Visioning Board
Once you’ve selected a piece of paper or poster board to serve as the backdrop for your vision, follow these steps:
Start with the idea of the lifestyle you want. That should influence your board and your business. (Remember, you want your board to influence your business and not the other way around. If you’re not careful, it’s easy to let your business take over. If you’re not in charge of your business, it will be in charge of you. That’s what has happened when you hear someone say, “My business is killing me.” or “My business doesn’t give me any time.”)
Next, choose your images. Sit down with a collection of magazines, cutting out what appeals to you. If you want a new house, a new car or a great vacation, include pictures of each. The pictures will remind you to create new opportunities in support of what they depict.
While working on #2, watch for words and phrases that represent your goals and dreams, and cut those out as well. Some of the ones I’ve collected include “dream big,” “indulge in the extraordinary,” and “it’s time for the vacation of a lifetime.” (One nice thing about working for yourself is that it’s easier to schedule vacation time.)
Look at family dreams as well and create a family vision. Beth and I are working on the visioning board together.
Don’t forget to include items representing your spiritual, intellectual, physical and emotional development.
Put your board in a high-traffic area so you can look at it often. Remember that you’re doing this exercise to create the kind of life that you want. Seeing these words and images will remind you on a regular basis of what you’re working for. It stimulates you and reinforces what you want, so it should reside in a prominent location.
Revise as needed. Your visioning board should a dynamic piece that you add to over the course of the year.
Now that you know what you want, create a specific action plan for how you’re going to achieve it.

Comments Off on In Memoriam: Salka
I am deeply grieved to report that we no longer have our Director of Marketing…
For the first time in 42 years I come home to a house empty of dogs. I guess you can safely say dogs have been an integral part of my life. They have been my companions and teachers and fellow beings for a long time.
I just lost my final companion Salka, an exuberant, passionate Alaskan Malamute. Those of you who have followed me and have been reading my newsletter or have trained with me are familiar with Salka.
He was the last of our pack of three. His pack mates, Waiki and Munai, were all named in Quechua words that have deep emotional meaning for Beth and I. Salka means wild energy—the wild energy of the Eagle as opposed to the domesticated energy of the chicken. In Andean cosmology “salka” energy is the wild energy of creativity and passion.
My big boy could not have been better named. He was my traveling companion, breakfast companion and my biggest cheerleader, sitting excitedly on the sidelines watching me play soccer. We once did a road trip through Northern California, hiking near Lake Tahoe and exploring the small mining towns of the foothills.
He had an amazing facility to connect with people. An animal communicator told us that what Salka enjoyed most was making deep eye contact with people—the kind of soul gazing that creates meaningful connection with all kinds, especially children and the vulnerable.
Because of the way he connected with people, I began speaking about him in my newsletter and created a special section—Salka’s Notes—as a way to impart messages from the perspective of a wise being. When I would travel and meet people at different conferences, we often talked about the use of newsletters to communicate our message. Almost everyone commented on how they enjoyed Salka’s Notes. As you can see from the photos, he illustrates the importance of living fully.
As I write this, I acknowledge the tears, the deep breathing and the sense of loss. His loss has made me miss his pack mates even more. Every time I lost one of my companions, I wrote about the lessons that they had taught me. I think one of the roles of dogs in our lives is to be teachers. I can’t tell you how often I would tell stories about my dogs that really imparted meaningful, heartfelt lessons.
Salka’s ultimate lesson for me was to learn to love myself as much as he loved me and to always be willing to connect fully and completely with people I meet. Those of you who know of his loss have reached out to me because you know the depth of my connection with him, especially those of you who have had a Salka in your life.
So this is as much a eulogy as it is a recommendation that you live the Salka life. Feel the creative passion, the heartfelt connections and always be ready to take a walk and enjoy nature.
Salka, I miss you.

Comments Off on Why Accountability Is Critical to Coaches and Coaching
Bill Baren of Bill Baren Coaching recently raised the issue of accountability with a group of his coaches. They responded with varying ideas, some claiming that—as adults—clients have to hold themselves accountable, while others said as coaches their job is to find ways to hold their clients accountable for reaching their goals.
Accountability is an important theme of coaching because it’s not something we do intrinsically well. Rather than holding ourselves accountable, we’re much better at being accountable to others.
Indeed, only about 1% of people are really good at holding themselves accountable. Most are better at being accountable to others—they don’t want to let family, friends, clients, co-workers, or “the team” down. (That’s one of the benefits of joint ventures: You’re accountable to each other.)
In defense of those who sometimes struggle with being accountable to themselves andothers, they often don’t realize how much they can (or can’t) handle. They say “Yes” without realizing that they don’t have the bandwidth to do what they’re committing to. If you’re really good at being accountable, you recognize how long commitments will take, realistically, and you know when to say “No.” Some people, myself included, just don’t realize how long something might take or when we ought to decline an opportunity, thus making it hard to be timely and accountable.
Some who are good at holding themselves accountable have higher standards about what constitutes good work. In service to their accountability to self and others, they have to let go of perfectionist standards. It’s important to recognize when good enough is good enough.
Accountability is an important aspect of success. To develop your self-accountability you need to be able to…
Gauge how long commitments or projects will take.
Say “No” graciously.
Recognize when something is “good enough.”
As a coach, ask your clients, “What is the best way for me to hold you accountable?”That question implies that accountability is important AND that they have a preferred way to be held accountable. For some a “kick in the butt” is more motivational than encouragement. As a coach, your job is to discover that and adapt to the style that works for them.
Your other job is to recognize what is preventing someone from being held accountable. You’ll probably find a problem with one of the 3 skills noted above.
Step back and objectively look at your ability to be self-accountable. You’re likely to discover that there are times or contexts in which you struggle. These are the areas in which coaching can be a great service to you. (You don’t have a coach? Then get one!)

Comments Off on To Expand Your Business, Be Strategic (Part 2)
As I mentioned in my newsletter, one of the key messages of the Gifted 2013 event was the value of your contact list. If you want to grow your business, you have to grow your list. It has to be a priority.
Here’s one example of why: If you want to have 200-person event, you need to start by having a 10,000-person list. That’s because only about 2% to 2.5% of those on your list will actually attend your event. There are other ways to get people there, such as bring-a-friend offers, but the truth is that you have to nurture your list.
Critical as it is, increasing your list is just one strategy for growth. If you have decided that it’s important to expand your business, there are some strategic approaches for doing that. Here are three ways to strategically grow your business:
Ask yourself, “What is important about growing my business?” Teasing out the reasons will help you move forward. For example…
“If I had a larger business, then I could do greater good.”
If you are driven by a mission to do greater good, and the reason for growing your business is to support that mission, then you and your goal are in congruence.
“I want to show my family that I can succeed.”
Though proving yourself is an important goal, it doesn’t carry as much motivation as a mission-driven goal.
Identify beliefs that lead to success. Find people who have grown their business in a way that resonates with you. If possible, arrange to speak with them and ask how they did it. What did they believe? This is very important because their beliefs ultimately determined the kinds of actions they took.
If you discover the beliefs behind their behaviors, you can ask yourself, “Do I have similar beliefs?” or “Am I capable of believing that?”
Some beliefs are pertinent to growing a business. For instance, if you believe that what you have to offer is life enhancing and life changing, then it will be much easier for you to do what’s necessary to succeed.
Successful people always have beliefs that support their success, even though they may not be conscious of what those beliefs are.
Determine the right strategies to implement. By “right” I mean the most efficient and effective. To discover these, look at the people who have been successful in your field. Learn their strategies by talking to them or reading articles by or about them that speak directly to this. If somebody has already been down that trail, you don’t have to blaze it yourself. As Jim Rohn said, “Success leaves clues.”
Jim also said, “Success is not an accident.”
I agree.
What are you doing to make it happen?

Comments Off on To Expand Your Business, Be Strategic (Part 1)
If you want to grow your business, you really need to be strategic with your decisions. It’s important to plan for growth. It doesn’t just happen.
You have to decide how you want to be bigger, and you need to determine who you can connect with to help with the growth.
When you strategically plan to expand your business and identify exactly how you want to see it grow, each step along the way should be clear. Each new step should be comfortable. If the next step seems overwhelming, it’s not the right step. You’ve probably skipped one or more steps and should adjust your plan before proceeding.
You should also put yourself in situations with people who are doing better than you, engaging in activities that challenge you to step up to the plate in larger ways. This will help prepare you for similar steps in your business in the future.
When you’re reaching out to connect with others, remember that the way to approach people is from the mindset of how you can be of service to them. That thinking will create a mutually beneficial collaboration.

Comments Off on Honoring Munai
This article is a departure from my usual “Insights,” but I think you’ll understand why I’ve shared it today.
It has been a little more than a week since Munai passed. Based on the kind comments many of you made on my Facebook page, I know that you understand deeply the significant relationships we have with animals and their heartfelt impact our lives.
When My Chow-Chow, Waiki, passed two years ago, I wrote about what she taught me. Now I’m doing the same for Munai.
Beth and I first saw her in the Pima County Animal Care Center, where we had gone to find a pack member for Waiki. We had lost our Golden Retriever, Wiser, about two months before and decided that we would adopt a rescue dog.
Well as many of you know, in a shelter setting a dog as much chooses you as you choose it. Munai was a six-month old little lab mix being kept with two other dogs. When she saw us she immediately came up and said in Doggie language, “I want to be in your pack.” She wasn’t the only one, but she was the most persistent, so we decided to bring her home.
After being spayed and treated for kennel cough, Munai came home. She was initially scared, but she settled in quickly as a result of being held close and Waiki’s willingness to welcome her into the pack. Her personality emerged. She was playful, loving and always a little scared, but she managed her fear by seeking reassurance.
We also discovered two other traits: she was very protective, and she was an exceptional hunter. One time we saw Munai catch a pigeon in flight by launching herself into the air and snatching it six feet off the ground. (We were able to release the bird, which then flew off.) She also never met a lizard she didn’t chase. The funniest memory of this particular characteristic was the time she caught a mouse in the house. We saw the mouse just as she did. It looked like she had it cornered, but then it disappeared. We thought it got away, but then we looked at Munai sitting quietly and noticed a tail emerging from her mouth. I told her to “OPEN,” and she did, only to have one scared and lucky mouse leap out and run off. I think it moved out of the house that very moment because we never saw it again.
With puppies and small dogs Munai was always loving and gentle, having a natural mothering aspect. She expressed this time and again. She was also affectionate and playful with kids and interacted well with other people, except when she sensed that Beth was concerned or wary about someone. In that case she was protective and fierce. She also used to support Waiki in the job of protecting the neighborhood from strange people and dogs.
What Munai was absolutely best at was being a loving friend. She would want to be there in the same room, close but not suffocating, just enjoying the closeness. She decided early on that her place at night was sleeping on the bed next to Beth; she wanted that connection. Munai did this until she was older and couldn’t jump on the bed any longer.
Munai also especially enjoyed the kitchen experience, where she took on the tough job of chief taster, a role she was not willing to relinquish to anyone else. When Beth and I changed our eating habits and went on an anti-inflammatory diet, that included a muffin made without wheat or sugars—one that had lots of fruit as its main component. Well, after one taste, Munai decided that this would be part of her diet, patiently waiting for her share every morning.
So what lessons did we learn from sweet Munai?
Once you make a choice of the heart, do all you can to make sure that you honor it.
Enjoy physical touch.
Stay close to the people you love.
Fully enjoy your relationships.

Comments Off on Making Dreams a Reality
Some of the questions I have considered have to do with people who have worked with the same coach or taken the same business training and yet experienced widely different results…
Why is there a difference? Is it simply taking action, or is there more to it?
Of the ones who are successful, what made success possible?
Based on my own work and my research, what seems to matter most is MOTIVATION.
If motivation is the key to success—the factor that makes the biggest difference—then how do you get motivated? What makes a difference in your life? Motivation is often tied to wanting to contribute, to having a powerful mission. What is it that shapes your ability to contribute?
How do you take your dreams and make them a reality? I suggest you adopt these three ideas from successful dreamers:
Focus on a moment when you realized what is possible. Think of an experience that ultimately satisfied your internal criteria, like achieving a certain financial goal or business goal that at one time seemed unachievable, and use that as a motivator.
Two powerful examples of people who achieved the “unachievable” are 1) the first person whose website got a million hits in a day, a feat now surpassed several times over, and 2) Roger Banister, the first person to break the 4-mainute mile, even though the prevailing “scientific evidence” claimed that doing so simply wasn’t possible. Certainly what you do will work if you believe it will work.
Get psyched with success, which creates even more actions, creating a success loop.
Use fear, if necessary. Paradoxically, this works for some—those who became more afraid of what life would be like if they didn’t follow through. This amplified pain creates action.
How can you push yourself to succeed?
Recognize who you are (identity) and what you are capable of.
Set a compelling goal.
Take frequent action, such as consciously doing one thing a week to achieve something.
Condition your mind each day. (This allows breakthroughs to happen, which is why it is a must for you.)
Spend time with people who are hungry. (People can change their standards when they are around others who have different standards; that’s why mastermind groups work so well.)
Seek out mentors, models or coaches.
Avoid doubt, because when you are in doubt, you are in no man’s land.
Maintain an optimistic viewpoint. Avoid pessimism.
And finally, persevere. Be prepared to overcome setbacks and keep going, no matter what. Such resilience makes the difference in achieving success. You must create emotional states that can carry you through the difficulties, boring times, or setbacks so that you can ultimately achieve what you want.

“I had a lot of things that I was ready to put in place in my business, but I just wasn’t taking any action, and I was really, really stuck.
