Welcome to Episode 276 of Monday Morning Pep Talk.

This week, we’re going deep on a truth every top performer knows — you’re only as strong as your recovery.

Whether you're an elite athlete or a high-performing advisor, setbacks are part of the game. What separates the best?

It’s not just talent. It’s not just discipline.

👉 It’s the ability to mentally reset and move forward — fast.

Research confirms what we’ve seen in sports:

The highest achievers don’t just recover physically.

🧠 They recover mentally.

🎾 What the Greats Do Differently:

📌 Serena Williams resets with rituals — every serve, every match.

📌 Rafael Nadal adjusts his socks to signal a mental reboot.

📌 Tiger Woods treats each shot as a clean slate.

📌 Michael Jordan used failure as fuel.

📌 Simone Biles stepped back, reset, and returned stronger.

These aren’t quirks. They’re intentional resets, practiced to protect performance.

🧘‍♂️ Composure isn’t passive. It’s practiced.

💼 For You, the Advisor:

• A listing fell through

• A deal collapsed

• A long-term client ghosted

So what. That moment is over. The next one is waiting.

Dragging setbacks into your next appointment?

That’s what kills momentum.

🔁 Reset Process:

✅ Acknowledge — briefly

✅ Analyze — don’t dwell

✅ Adjust — if needed

✅ Advance — no residue

This is how you stay sharp, protect your energy, and perform.

💬 Ask Yourself:

Do you have reset rituals?

Are you letting one moment take over your week?

Are you ready for what’s next — or stuck on what just happened?

You don’t need to be perfect.

You just need to reset and keep showing up.
