Understanding and having a framework to BE MORE successful is really important. Over the last 20 years I have worked as a trainer around the world transforming people’s lives through fitness and since 2005 as the founder of the European Institute of Fitness and mentor to some of the most successful personal trainers in the industry. I have created 6 pillars.

 

DESIRE Getting clear about what you want and prioritising it is the first pillar of success. You will never be successful following logical arguments to do this or that. Half-hearted efforts are not going to lead to what you want. Do or do not, there is no try (Yoda).

 

BELIEF  Know like you know like you know you can. You have to believe in yourself and in your ability to achieve what you want. Limiting beliefs can inhibit your progress and need identifying and removing but be sure – our beliefs and our confidence are critical.  This pillar is all about developing confidence and certainty.

 

ATTITUDE Having a positive winning attitude isn’t just important it’s everything. Often we try and achieve what we want in an environment that isn’t very positive or others around us don’t offer this positivity that we need. It is important to develop a positive winning attitude since our attitudes are contagious, would you want someone to catch yours?

ACCOUNTABILITY Taking full responsibility for your outcomes is key. Of course stuff happens outside of your control (we’ll call this E for events) but it isn’t these events that cause the Outcomes (O) you experience but how we choose to respond to such events (R) and hence our philosophy E+R=O. Events don’t cause the outcomes we experience in our lives but how we respond to such events ultimately determine the outcomes we experience. This, we have 100% control over.

 

ACTION At the end of the day the universe rewards action. When we get clear and feel excited about what we most DESIRE, and really BELIEVE we can achieve what we want our unrelenting positive ATTITUDE and 100%.

 

ACCOUNTABILITY still needs acting on. Ready FIRE Aim – we don’t need to be perfect, we can miss but, we must take a shot. Once we have a go, we can learn from it. But we must take ACTION if we want to succeed.

 

PERSISTENCE Success isn’t a one-off act but a habit. Persistence is about seeing things through.
