Have ever thought what it was like to be great at something. Do you dream about being great? Does being great sound good, but in reality seem unattainable? Why do you think you want to be great? What does being great actually mean to you?

Think carefully about these questions. The answers will determine what you are truly willing to do in order to achieve your goal of greatness.

First, set your goals high and your standards even higher. Never accept anything less from yourself and remain focused on every aspect of your goal to become great at what you do.

Once your goals are set you must study, just like you do to pass a test in school. Become an expert on what you do. Buy books and DVD s. Reach out to experts in your field, ask questions and listen! Soak in as much information as you can. Becoming the expert will give you a major advantage over everyone else. Do not simply rely on others!

Next come the sacrifices. Being great isn’t normal. Therefore how can you live a normal life like normal people? You must eat better than normal people, sleep better than normal people, take care of your body better than normal people, workout better than normal people, practice better than normal people, be mentally stronger than normal people, be a role model better than normal people. Get it? You must live different and with a different purpose than most.

Goals are set, knowledge is gained, and sacrifices have been made. Now what? You must work work work! Not necessarily harder than your competition, but you must work smarter and better than your competition. When you are not training physically you must train mentally. When you are resting, rest with a purpose. Do all the little things as well as the big things. Train like you go to school. Sport and training is your life just like learning is your life.

Lastly, be resilient, incredibly resilient.
