No Excuses” Break Through Fear and Adversity to Play a Bigger Game in Business and Life

 Have you noticed Fear, Adversity, Mindset and Excuses to name a few are often the difference makers for those that are truly successful and those that aren’t?

 We all face them each and everyday, but a select few know how to overcome them.

 So how do you overcome these obstacles that we all face every single day both personally and professionally?

 You teach your organization a model that speaks to their inner core,

mindset and thought process to breakthrough these barriers.

 That’s where David comes in.    

The P3 Framework - Your Personal Perseverance Project.

 Objectives:

 1 ) Having a Vision

Often we think about what we truly want to achieve but we must have the Vision within ourselves, to live it, to breathe it, to read it and to focus on it so everything we do is in alignment with making our Vision become a reality.

 2) Our Mindset

If our mindset isn’t strong we will constantly let life’s circumstances dictate how we respond. But when we flip that upside down we learn that we cannot control what happens to us but we can control how we react. A positive focused Mindset is the most powerful tool for one’s success.

 3) Sense of Urgency

We often talk about the things we are going to do and accomplish. We talk about starting “tomorrow” or “someday.” It’s the start that stops most people. But the fact is tomorrow is not guaranteed and success is never convenient. It will never be the perfect time to start. It’s about creating it.
