High Performers are people that are more successful than their peers. Not only more successful, but they do so on a more consistent basis. They're usually less stressed, as well.

 Amongst other factors, Burchard and his team have completed extensive research to find out why some people are more successful than others - and how they do it happier. His team has found out over decades of interviews and research that it comes down to six different habits. 


INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY is the fourth personal habit that Brendon Burchard speaks about. 


Burchard breaks this down into three sections.


1) Increase the Outputs that Matter

     - determine your Prolific Quality Output (PQO)
               - this is the key action that will move the needle in your goal
               - schedule atleast 60% of your work week dedicated to your various PQO's

     - Be aware of procrastination and perfectionism


2) Chart Your Five Moves

- each of your goals should have five specific steps to take in order for you to ultimately reach for those milestones

- talent only goes so far, High Performers think before acting


3) Get Insanely Good at Key Skills

     - Burchard dives into the topic about identifying the skills that you need in your pursuit of your goals

     - Burchard has developed the Progressive Steps to Mastery, these steps take you from an amateur to a seasoned veteran within a given skill 

               i) Find a skill to master.
               ii) Set small, achievable goals for development. 
               iii) Attach high levels of emotion and meaning to your results and journey.
               iv) Find factors critical to success, and develop within those areas.
               v) Visualize what success, and failure looks like within the skill. 
               vi) Take on practices developed by experts. 
               vii) Get feedback from others, and measure your progress
               viii) COMPETE! Socialize your learning and efforts. 
               ix) Progressively set higher level goals; 
               x) Go teach others this skill you have learned!

RAISE NECESSITY is the third personal habit that Brendon Burchard speaks about. 


Burchard breaks this down into three sections.


1) - Know Who Needs You on Your A Game -

     - Who is that significant one in your life that you're fighting for?

     - Burchard speaks about the "Desk Trigger" ... When you sit down in your desk or any chair to get work done, begin to contemplate to yourself who is counting on you to win. 


2) - Affirm the Why -

     - High Performers don't only know WHY they're doing what they're doing, but they can also tell you in exact detail on their systems for HOW to get there

* SYSTEMS drive PROGRESS *

     - a High Performer's Why is completely powerful  


3) - Level Up Your Squad - 

     - if you are the smartest and most experienced person within your room, you need to change rooms as soon as possible!

     - always be striving for growth and development, as this can't happen if you are the top person within your space

     - get around 5 people who DRIVE you to be better, and make sure it's uncomfortable because that indicator is the key for growth

GENERATE ENERGY is the second personal habit that Brendon Burchard speaks about. 


Burchard breaks this down into three sections.


- Release TENSION, Set INTENTION

SEEKING CLARITY is the first personal habit that Brendon Burchard speaks about. 


Burchard breaks this down into three sections.


- Envision the Future Four /// High Performers are all clear on...

     - Intention for Themselves
     - Intentions for their Social world
     - Intentions for their applicable Skills
     - Intentions for their Service to others


- Determine the Feeling You're After

     - Burchard dives into the discussion of emotions versus feelings. Emotions can't be controlled - they're going to come up for us day to day. Feelings, on the other hand, can be controlled by YOU. You can choose how to feel about certain situations that arise and how you'll respond. High performers do not let their emotions take over. 


- Define What's Meaningful

     - High performers value their personal relationships - because they are clear on how important connection is. High performers find opportunities that give them a personal sense of satisfaction.

This is an introduction episode for my next SIX podcast episodes. 

Brendon Burchard (author) has written a book called High Performance Habits. I begun reading it in 2022 when it was recommended to me from a high-end restaurant executive in Calgary.  I finally gathered the discipline to finish taking notes on it and reading it in early 2023.

Prior to heading with my Financial Services team to our annual Las Vegas convention, I found out that Brendon Burchard would be the keynote speaker at the infamous MGM Grand Garden Arena.

To say the least, it was a talk for the ages on the 13th of July. All moved to tears, and inspired to begin making a change in their own lives.

I dive very briefly into his story.

The following six episodes will dive deep into each of these habits individually. I'll offer applicable information that will allow you to take these habits and begin applying them into your life.

What comments or questions do you have? I'd love to hear from you. Send me a message!

Are you moving the needle in all areas of your life?

Yes - we can for sure get busy at times in our life. Take a second to step back with a birds eye view and ask yourself if the work you're doing is really moving the needle for yourself. Or, maybe you HAVE to make the LEAP to step into new situations so that you truly are making progress. 

"People complain, but stop when it's time to change". This a quote that resonates in my head quite often when I'm facing situations that are new to me. It's easy to complain in certain scenarios. But, when an opportunity is presented to be able to level up and progress, it's usually so uncomfortable that we back down. 

Press through that discomfort and move the needle in your life.

With surfing - the waves are going to push you as high as twenty to thirty feet in the air. If you don't trust yourself and you grip the surfboard - you WILL wipe out.

I've used this analogy to help coach within my industry. Our high emotions (Irritation and Anger) are the waves. We tend to hold onto these feelings and situations when they happen. This causes us days, weeks, or even months of pent-up grudges or limited mental capacity.

Trust yourself and let go of the surfboard. Trust that you're going to ride out the wave. You don't have much a better chance at moving on from irritating situations by gripping to them and marinating in those emotions. As with surfing, when you freeze in terror and grip back onto the surfboard, your high comes down really quick.

Don't grip onto these sudden emotions when these types of scenarios arrive in your life. 

Acknowledge the situation, analyze what happened, how to correct, then ride out the wave.

I read this poster morning after morning before going to workout with my team.

"Champions are Made When the Stands are Empty". Those words would bear down on each player in the dark dingy hallway prior to entering the weight room.

In my first year playing football at the senior level - I never quite understood what that meant, only until my team found success at the end of next the season on the football field. 

The work you put in behind the scenes is what matters when it comes to succeeding at all levels. 

Playing football, at a program that is designed to develop you as a person, taught me so many valuable lessons that I am able to apply in my life today. Delayed gratification is a key ingredient to breeding success. The results that you want to see won't come overnight. Your small habits and disciplines day-in and day-out will paint the picture of the direction your life is heading in. 

Regarding football - the stands are empty from December, all the way until the following September. This was when we, as a team, were putting in the MOST work and preparation. The powerhouse team and effort that the fans saw, was ALL developed during the long eight months in the weight room preparing our bodies and minds.

Apply this concept to your life. When the spotlight is on you, how have you taken advantage of the time away from the spotlight to prepare?

All of you have the POWER of the RIPPLE EFFECT. But what is this ... exactly? 

The way you move, motivate and inspire people will have a profound effect with the people that THEY come in touch with. 

You have more influence than you think.

I've had conversations with people that have brought this concept to life. My intention with this episode is to explain, via stories, that you hold more influence and reach than you believe you truly have.

ATTACK your week this week with TENACITY. 

Whether we know it or not - we make subtle excuses that "allow" our subconscious relief for not following through on a personal commitment.  

Don't let excuses be the reason for not getting your work done. 

I had a riveting conversation with a coworker, earlier this past week, that truly left me in awe at his commitment level to his priorities.
