298: Your Perspective of Failure with Matthew Bain 

https://jeffheggie.com/ConfidentAthlete

https://jeffheggie.com/2021/06/02/what-is-failure/

We can learn a lot from failure. If you don’t learn from failure and become better because of it, you have wasted the experience.

We’ve all heard the quotes:

“Failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”

“Fail fast, fail hard, fail often”

Failure is a part of life; it’s going to happen.

But that doesn’t make it any more fun. It’s easy to recite all the failure quotes, but when you fail, it still sucks.

That’s why it’s important to think about it before it happens. What are you going to do if you fail? How are you going to respond?

But even before that, “What is failure?”

I’ve watched an entrepreneur go through the struggles of a failed business with grace. I’ve also wondered if the world was going to come to an end after watching the reaction of a star basketball player missing a free throw.

Take the time to understand what failure is to you.

If you fail, what’s the worst that could happen and how would you deal with it?

Learn how to live with a growth mindset so that you don’t allow a failure to define you as a person. Failure is an outcome, it’s not who you are. Failure hurts, but it still doesn’t define you.

You can’t always control what happens to you, but you can control how you react.

I’m a strong believer in the benefits of visualization and seeing the outcomes that you desire. I don’t want you to focus on the negative because you become what you think about. But I do encourage you to consider the worst outcomes so that you can know ahead of time, before emotions are involved, how you’ll deal with a situation. You’re not visualizing failure, you’re being smart and proactive.

“If we are doing anything important, the possibility of failure exists.” – Matthew Bain

When failure happens, focus on the things that you can control.

Control your thoughts and emotions so that you can make smart decisions during the chaos.

297: Unwavering Confidence

https://jeffheggie.com/confidentathlete

“…The steer wrestling this year could have been very easily called “the Jeff Heggie Show.” Jeff finished his weekend as the Finals Champion as well as the Average Winner…”

When I think of times in my life when I had unwavering confidence in myself, this was one of them. At that time in my life, I didn’t understand confidence like I do today. I didn’t understand the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.

All that I knew on this weekend was that nobody was going to beat me.

I remember my older brother apologizing that he couldn’t be there to support me because of other commitments. I told him that it was too bad, because I was going to win it all. I didn’t tell him this out of arrogance or wishful thinking. It was a matter of fact. I won.

Two weeks later I was in Red Deer AB competing in the FCA rodeo finals. I remember wishing I could get that feeling of confidence back that I had two weeks earlier. But it wasn’t there.

I did well. I won some money. But I didn’t leave as the champion.

When I reflect on this now it’s a “I wish I knew then what I know now” kind of moment.

Back then, my brother had given me a sports psychology article on visualization, and I practiced that a lot. But I didn’t have an understanding of confidence like I do today. I didn’t understand what a fixed mindset was compared to a growth mindset. There was a lot I didn’t know that could have helped me to be a better athlete.

These are the same things that will help you in other areas of life outside of athletics as well.

In my Momentum Series I teach how you can build your confidence through the Momentum Cycle. Through the Momentum Cycle we can tap into our potential and take action. When we take the proper action, we produce results. The results we produce build our level of confidence, and then the cycle continues and grows. When we have more confidence, we tap into more of our potential, etc.

That’s a very simplified, quick explanation, you can get more details in my free Momentum Series at https://jeffheggie.com/momentum/

Tony Robbins teaches that by getting the results in advance we can increase our level of confidence. This is where our competency comes into play. When we’ve put in the work and effort to master our skill, we know we’ve put in the work and have a belief in our ability. This is what world champion, Tyson Durfey (219: No Limits Living with Tyson Durfey) talked about when he said he had a high level of confidence because he knew that nobody had put the work in that he had.

If you really want to win in life, you need to develop an unwavering confidence in yourself. You have to believe in yourself and your goals.

Confidence is knowing, without a doubt, that you will win at whatever you are doing.

If you don’t win. It’s learning from what happened so you will win next time. It’s about believing in yourself and being willing to go all in.

The first thing you can do today, is make the decision to be confident.

Believe in yourself. Bet on yourself.

296: Become a Confident Athlete

https://jeffheggie.com/confidentathlete

All of your life you’ve been taught WHAT TO THINK.

It’s time you learn HOW TO THINK.

You’re in charge of your mind. You can help it grow by using it the right way

Just learning about the growth mindset can cause a big shift in the way people think about themselves and their lives.

John, a collegiate student athlete, shared this when he learned about the fixed mindset and growth mindset:

“As a student athlete I had a fixed mindset. Winning was everything and learning did not enter the picture. However, after [learning about fixed and growth mindsets] I realized that I did not have a good mindset. I’ve been working on learning while I compete, under the realization that if I can continually improve, even in games, I will become a much better athlete.”

John’s internal monologue use to be: Win. Win. Win. You have to win to prove yourself. Everything depends on winning.

Now it’s: Observe. Learn. Improve. Become a better athlete.

First – You need to learn as much as you can about having a Fixed Mindset and a Growth Mindset. (I’ve talked about this is other episodes of my Daily Success Strategies podcast. This is also a major focus in my course, High Achievers Mindset Secrets https://mindset.jeffheggie.com/)

Second – You need to learn How to Think!

Through this effort and combination, you’ll be able to figure out what’s best for you because you’ve cracked YOUR code.

Don’t just do ‘it’ because someone told you to.

Tim Grover, in his book W1NNING, he says that “it’s no coincidence that the greats figure out what works for them, regardless of what everyone else does.”

If you’re an athlete that is committed to be ready for your next season, you must develop your mental game!

295: Million Dollar Opportunity with Hunter Reaume (Full Interview)

https://jeffheggie.com/

https://jeffheggie.com/momentum/

There will be times in our lives when you’re given the opportunity to see what all your hard work and preparation has done for you. But hard work and preparation don’t guarantee you anything.

What do you do when you’ve done everything right and when your opportunity comes, things don’t work out?

Hunter Reaume is a great athlete, but he’s much more than that. He’s an incredible person.

Hunter is a professional rodeo cowboy and he’s worked hard at perfecting his craft as a tie-down roper. His hard work and dedication finally paid off and gave him the opportunity to perform on the biggest stage of his life at AT&T Stadium in an elite rodeo called The American.

It was a long road to qualify to make it to the final performance and it came down to the best of the best. It started with over 250 cowboys, but on the final day it was down to four. If Hunter was the fastest time on this final day of the rodeo, he would win $1,100,000!

His preparation paid off! He made the fastest time of his life at 7.2 second. He was going to be a millionaire… Until the unimaginable happened and changed everything.

Listen to his story and then you’ll know why I have such a deep respect for this man.

294: Winning Is Inside All of Us…

https://jeffheggie.com/2021/05/28/winning-is-inside-all-of-us/

“Don’t fear failure… Fear being in the exact same place next year as you are today.”

After posting that quote on Instagram I had a number of people discuss their goals with me. Actually, more than discussing their goals, they talked about how they don’t stick to their goals. I shared some quotes with them on winning from Tim Grover’s new book, W1NNING.

“Motivation is for those who haven’t decided whether to commit to their goals, or how much time, effort, and life they’re willing to invest to achieve them.”

“Winning is inside all of us, but for most, that’s where it will stay, trapped under a lifetime of fear and worry and doubt.”

“The race to greatness has no rules to protect you. Nothing says you’re not going to lose, you’re not going to get hurt, you’re not going to do all this work for nothing. There’s no guarantee it will be ‘fair.’ Most likely it will not be fair. You’ll lose at the buzzer. You’ll lose to someone who didn’t work as hard as you did. You’ll lose on a bad call, or a bad play. Someone else will get the job. A pandemic will wipe out your season, your bank account, your career.”

When we set goals and give up on them, it becomes a habit. It becomes something that we accept, and we start to accept it into all areas of our lives. Somehow, we figure out how to justify quitting as acceptable.

The first time you give up, it’s painful.

The second time it’s still painful but you’ve done it before and it feels familiar, and there’s comfort in familiarity.

Each time that you quit or give up, it becomes easier and easier.

But Jeff Olson says, “It’s just as easy to step back into the habit of succeeding as it is to slip into the habit of failing.”

It doesn’t matter where you are now.

It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve quit.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve allowed quitting to become a habit.

Start over today. Get back into the habit of succeeding! If you don’t have written out, clearly defined goals, get my free Momentum Series at https://jeffheggie.com/momentum/ to set your goals. If you’ve been through my Momentum Series before, but it’s been a while, go through it again.

293: The Riches Are in The Niches

https://jeffheggie.com/

https://jeffheggie.com/momentum/

Become the best… or even better, the ONLY

Identifying you niche is one of the most important steps in your business. But unfortunately, it’s also one of the most avoided, or resisted steps.

From the outside, this resistance makes sense. Most entrepreneurs that are afraid to narrow their niche feel this way because they don’t want to miss out on customers and opportunities. By narrowing down their niche they are excluding potential customers and they are making their market smaller

However, as the saying goes, “when you try to be everything to everyone, you accomplish being nothing to anyone.” When you get very specific about who your market is, you can focus on their biggest needs and struggles.

There are over 7 billion people on earth. They’re all not your potential customers. You can get a much, much smaller niche that is still a huge market.

297: Are You Mentally Tough Enough To Be Great?

https://jeffheggie.com/

https://jeffheggie.com/momentum/

How can you reach your full potential?

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “I was meant for greater things?”

There is more in you. You’ve just got to be willing to go get it.

Your greatness is outside of your comfort zone.

You’ve got to get comfortable being uncomfortable.

Every single morning, go through your Mindset Questions (www.JeffHeggie.com/mindset). When you get to the question that asks you what you’re going to do to step out of your comfort zone that day, stretch further than you did the day before.

Every single time you step out of your comfort zone, your comfort zone expands.

When you’re proud of yourself because you pushed through to your limit, look deep. I guarantee you have more in you! How bad do you want it? Keep going. As I mention in the podcast, when I got to my eighth rep and wanted to stop, I pushed through and knocked out 10! Yes, I was proud and happy I had accomplished that, but at that moment I also realized I had more in me and kept going.

We are always looking for quick answers. Be patient. When it’s taking longer to reach your goal than you would like, don’t quit. Don’t throw in the towel. Remember why you are doing it in the first place (know your ‘why,’ go through the 7-Levels Deep exercise at www.JeffHeggie.com/momentum).

You were meant for greatness, but it’s not going to be handed to you. Go get it!

296: Give Yourself Permission to Succeed

https://jeffheggie.com/

https://jeffheggie.com/momentum/

I’m often approached by people who want to make a change in their life. They have a big idea. Often, they’ve had it for a while. They have a dream they believe in, but they haven’t done anything about it. It’s as if they want me to give them permission to go for it.

Stop Looking for Permission

Stop looking to others for permission. This is your life. You only need your permission. If you want it, go for it!

What’s holding you back? What are you afraid of? Make good choices but make a decision one way or another.

If you are using my Mindset Questions (https://jeffheggie.com/mindset/), you’re already stepping out of your comfort zone on a daily basis. The more you step out of your comfort zone, the more your confidence will grow. The less you will look to others for permission.

Are You In or Are You Out?

Once you make the decision to move forward with your idea, do it obsessively. Become obsessed with your dreams and goals. When you become obsessed with a goal or project, your subconscious will go to work and help you figure out how to achieve it. You can learn more about this at, https://jeffheggie.com/2021/05/22/why-you-become-what-you-think-about/

Put In The Work

Do you want to become great at something? Put in the work.

As a basketball coach I always see the jealousy towards the best players. There are always players on the team that want the playing time as the best players, the recognition, and the stats. Sometimes they even try to degrade the better players saying they are given special treatment by the coach and they should be getting as much playing time as the better player.

What they never acknowledge is the fact that the better player has and continues to put in way more effort in all the aspects of the sport. They practice significantly more on their own, they watch film. They study and learn the game better. They do so much behind the scenes that nobody even knows about.

If you want to become great, put in the work. If you want to achieve your goals, put in the work.

Be Consistent

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times. It’s the daily success habits that separate the best from the rest.

Develop your success habits and be consistent with them. If they don’t immediately produce results, keep going! John Lee Dumas said, “Entrepreneurs don’t fail. They just stop doing the things that would eventually make them successful.”

Sometimes you’ll see results quickly. Sometimes it will seem like it’s never going to happen. Stay focused and keep going. You’ll get there.

What are your goals? (If you don’t have clearly defined, written down goals, get my FREE Momentum Series at https://jeffheggie.com/momentum/) Don’t wait for someone to give you permission to go chase them. Give yourself permission and go do it!
