The Ultimate Motivation for Peak Performance
Okay guys, this is big. What is it that motivate us? I’ve studied the subject for a long time. And I’ve drawn some conclusions that might be very useful for you if you want to perform at the next level.
I wrote this article and I didn’t remember to post it here on the blog. Now I reviewed it and expanded it. You can read the article here. Even if you didn’t read the...

How to Perform Better Immediately
(Photo from FreeFoto.com)
Let me share with you a small technique to perform better immediately: Just want to.
Yes, just want to. It’s that simple. How does it work?
We all have an identity, rules and patterns for how to act. We think we can’t do this or that. We think we need to do this before we can do that.
If, for a moment, you can discard all your rules, you will perform...

2 New Articles on Peak Performance
Hey guys,
I’ve written two new articles on peak performance. You can find them at my ArticleBase profile.
Shatter and Start This is an article about how we evolve in our competences not continuously, but in levels. We have to break levels and step to new levels. This article explains it in a little more depth.
Some Thoughts on State State, flow, the zone, it’s what people call that...

Three new articles
Hello everyone!
Sorry for not posting in some time, but I’ve been brainstorming some new ideas. I’ve produced three new articles.
How Making It Yours Can Help Achieve Peak Performance This is an article about what belongs to us. When you do something, do you do it just because you do it, or do you have a passion, a drive? This article explains how a connection to the subject can help...

Certainty Can Produce Results Instantly
We live in a total blackout. We have so many possibilities we get lost in them.
Imagine you want to start a new hobby. Person A already does it, and he does it in a way. Person B also does it, but he does it in a totally different way.
When too many options are presented to you, we tend to feel less intense about them.
What is the solution? Create a unique way you’re going to follow....

Bye Bye, Performance Barriers; Hello Results
How to instantly up your performance and get more results?
Imagine you don’t have barriers.
Wait a minute, it can’t be that simple.
It is. It works for learning, for performance in any task, and achieving results. Let me explain to you how it works.
We usually consider we have barriers in how we do things.
Time barriers, method barriers. If you have to do a task in your office,...

Never Label
Never label anything.
People, companies, products, nothing.
People think labeling makes life easier. It’s precisely the opposite.
First, let’s clarify something. We had two paradigms of thinking:
The old one: Get all the information you can at the same time. Stockpile, ignore information, discard it even if it’s important, but stuff yourself full of it.
The new one:...

How to Make Decisions Effectively
If you want to make decisions effectively, do them quick.
Is it that easy? Yes, it is.
Let’s look at things this way:
You can either make a decision immediately, or wait in indecision.
If you wait a long time before you decide, during all that time you did nothing.
If you make a decision, even a wrong one, you’re already knowing what works and what doesn’t.
It’s...

Being Stimulated Without Stimuli
This idea came to me when reading this Trizle article. I suggest you read it first. Besides just being plain cool, it’s very useful.
A subject related to Trizle’s article, but not exactly the same, is something I’ve been studying for a long time, searching for peak performance.
We have the tendency to grow when we face stimuli. However, what happens when we reach the top?...

How to Get Infinite Knowledge out of a Book
You read a book once. You get the general picture of it.
You read the book again. You get deeper knowledge about it. You read it again and again, maybe in the period of days, maybe in the period of years.
The thing is, you reach a point where you know the book forward and backward. You know exactly how many principles the book defends for doing a certain thing, how many chapters there are, and...

How to Do What You Don't Like
Many times in life we have to do things we just hate. How do we solve that problem?
There is a simple and effective tool to do it. Just associate that task to what you love to do. What do I mean by this?
Imagine you want to have a luxury home. However, the financial plan you developed to have that home involves you work for 5 years in a job that is not really your cup of tea.
In order to be...

Are You Using Your Limits Effectively?
I’m going to convey to you an idea that might be counter-intuitive, but that is extremely effective. Your limits don’t define you, they empower you.
Anyone can act with the same limits. If I have the same budget as my competitor, I can pretty much do the same thing as him. However, if I have a smaller budget and I do the same, then I’m better.
It’s like the efficiency formula. Your efficiency...

Communicating Simply and Effectively
The best way of communicating is indifference. Not emotional indifference, but indifference to excesses and vices you tend to have.
Imagine you’re telling someone a point. “I think this business should be done each way”. And the person listens and says “okay”.
So the conversation keeps on, and you keep repeating it, as if the person wasn’t getting it, time...

Book Review - Jonathan Mead - The Zero Hour...
This is a free ebook I’ve encountered on the web. After having read Timothy Ferriss’s 4-Hour Work Week, I became fascinated with many of the matters in the book and investigated more about them.
While doing that I came across this ebook.
The theme of the book is pretty much in line with what is said in books like the 4-Hour Work Week or Crush It!.
It is essentially about using...

How Each New Day Defines Your Success
This is a remake of my original article at the original 100 Is The New 100 blog.
The concept is: Whatever it is you’ve done, it doesn’t matter when you do it next time.
If you were the top #1 racer on a race, when you’re starting the next one, your past success does not matter. You have to try exactly as hard.
If you just crushed it delivering an awesome presentation, when...

How to Use Experience for Maximum Performance
I have thought about what is truly experience and I’ve come up with a fantastic revelation.
Experience is not what you did. Experience is how you did something.
Let me clarify. Normally, we think:
If I play in a sports match, I have experience of having played in a sports match.
Wrong. How you play is the most important factor.
If you play in a sports match and you play bad, you...

Book Review - Gary Vaynerchuk - Crush It!
This is a fantastic book.
What’s it about?
In sum, creating a business using the Internet and social media.
This is a pretty direct book, which I love. It has a “just tell me what to do” approach, and Gary is fantastic at just giving it to you.
He will tell you how to start becoming known on the Internet. How to use that to monetize. What are the tools and strategies for...

Segment It! (Business example)
This is an example of what I say in “Segment It!” applied to work.
Imagine you want to start a new business. Imagine you have a passion for writing. You want to write books/stories and publish them online.
So, first of all, you learn about the Internet, if you don’t know much about it.
You learn how social media is important, how to market on the web. Instead of reading...

If you want to be successful, most people will tell you you need passion and determination. And hard work. And persistence. In a way, they’re all the same thing.
But that’s not what I’ll be talking to you about.
How do people not just have passion, but systematically apply that passion, and rock the business?
When you’re trying to get into a business, do a task,...
