GAMETIME (Audio) with Andy Zitzmann

As I mentioned yesterday, any champion or leader in life, business and sports has a process to get themselves fired up and in a peak state at any moment! This is what I like to call the "GAMETIME Mode". When you develop a GAMETIME Mode and process by spending time to get your focus, energy and confidence going, you will be and feel unstoppable, and you will learn to trigger yourself to get into GAMETIME Mode on command, at any moment! Do this before any big moment. Get into your GAMETIME Mode right before that big moment, put yourself into a peak state, and see the magic happen. You will absolutely increase your ability to step up your game, step into your greatness and deliver a championship performance!

Any champion or leader in life, business and sports has a process to get themselves fired up and in a peak state at any moment! Use this episode to get yourself fired up for your day! Get your blood flowing, endorphins going, confidence growing and get a lil crazy with me to deliver your best today! 

These 8 words that end in "ATE" help us pay Attention to Excellence ("ATE"), and focus on all we can do to unlock an amazing life of fulfillment and excellence. Remember these and I hope you enjoyed the Gr"ATE" series!

7. Elev-ATE

8. Educ-ATE

But, don't just educate yourself, be an educator of others. One of the best ways to pay Attention to Excellence, is to teach others. Pass it on! When you are willing to help others learn and grow, you lock-in your own growth and stay committed to alway striving to learn and grow. Happiness, Fulfillment and Excellence are by-products of never-ending growth in self and with others; Educ"ATE" today!

If we don't Elev"ATE", we get complacent. If you are in a place where you are stuck, not happy, just getting by, or even if you are happy... Remember, there are NO LIMITS! Strive for more and elevate your life! In doing so, you will ensure success and fulfillment in all that you do. Be More. Be a Champion. Be Excellent. Always Elev"ATE" Your Game!

There are three forms of communication; speaking, thought and listening. It is important to communicate with yourself; to spend time in thought and listening to oneself. Are you negative or positive when you communicate with yourself? To conquer your fears, motivate and create passion in yourself, and step up your game, you must master the art of self-communication. To master communication with others, be a great listener so that you can truly connect with others from a place of understanding. Additionally, be honest, open and vulnerable; share your struggles, failures, etc... It builds trust and credibility, and will lead to deeper, more meaningful relationships. At the end of the day, communication is all about how the other feels about you and how you feel about you. Pay Attention To Excellence today; Communic"ATE" Gr"ATE"!

Is it time to change with whom you associate? Do you need a mentor, a networking group, to shift the group you are hanging out with at work, or to hire a coach? Look at how the people around you are challenging you, and if they aren't, it's time to make a change!

Dedic"ATE" yourself to forming winning habits! Are you fully committed to what you are doing each and every day? Dedication is the key to catching excellence in striving for perfection! Dedic"ate" yourself to your relationships. Dedic"ate" yourself to your work. Dedic"ate" yourself to what you’ve created. After all, we become what we create through dedication!

The word motivate is all about enthusiasm, excitement and passion. Always do your best to motivate yourself, and then work from that place of passion and enthusiasm inside you. 

Here are some ways to get motivated: Continue watching this podcast :), and/or watch a video, listen to an inspirational speech or personal development talk, play a high energy song, or subscribe to a daily email list such as the Daily Motivator with Ralph Marston. Motivation is all around us, we simply need to seek it out and invite it into our lives daily. 

Just like the farmer, your life and business are your crops and we must cultiv"ate" them daily. Studies prove that in order to become an expert, it takes 10,000 hours of work. Do the work through growth and constant work and attention to cultivate your creation.
