Jim Fannin Show

As we approach October 1st, the current drink of choice may be the Pumpkin Spice Latte, but it won’t be long until those paper coffee cups are traded for champagne flutes on December 31st.

How you react to the fourth quarter depends on your ability to resist the dual temptations of noise and pointless action that won’t move you closer to well-defined goals in career, sport, relationships or passions. As you approach the fourth quarter, now is the time to make sure you put the “big rocks” in first. Of course, this is a classic analogy about setting your priorities in order but in this episode of The Jim Fannin Show, I walk you through how to put your priorities back on course in 90 minutes or less.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• The anatomy of Tiger Woods’ stunning comeback, from recovering from four back surgeries to winning the Tour Championship this past weekend.

• How you can rapidly increase your learning through book summaries with one of our sponsors, Blinkist. Get a seven-day free trial and 25% off at Blinkist.com/Fannin.

• How Efe Obada survived human trafficking as a child and made his way to the NFL and the Carolina Panthers.

• The mental training that allowed a group of Marines to rescue 190 seniors from a nursing home fire in Washington D.C.

• What you can learn from the “Touchdown of the Year” thrown by Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs.

The post Jim Fannin Show: The “Big Rocks” Of The 4th Quarter appeared first on Radio Influence.

If I asked you to sum up this week, what would be your response? Could you articulate the decisions you made on where to spend your time and energy and if those choices marched you toward well-defined goals? Or was your week scattered, haphazard or chaotic? How much time, money was wasted for you, your family, company or team?

Do you have too many unnecessary thoughts?

This episode of The Jim Fannin Show is all about the “mental diet.” Just like a physical diet will only work if you cut the junk food AND replace those calories with healthy meals and plenty of water, cleaning up your mental diet may include dropping some bad habits and picking up new ones.

Previously on the show, I’ve covered the importance “no being the new yes.” In this episode, we dive deeper into how to order your life and thoughts for peak performance. Because talent, ability and drive don’t mean much if they’re covered up with stress, anxiety, sleeplessness and worry. Odds are, you need less activities to achieve more results, and I’m going to walk you through exactly how to achieve it.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why three massive upsets occurred in college football last weekend (Akron over Northwestern, North Texas over Arkansas, and Troy over Nebraska) and how you can apply the same tactics to your own life.

• What it took for new Amazon show The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel to win five Emmys in an increasingly crowded and competitive TV market. You’ll learn what it takes to get to the top, especially when the competition is ferocious.

• The amazing story of how two siblings were able to locate and buy back their father’s beloved Ford Mustang, which he’d sold 17 years prior to pay for family medical bills.

• What it took for singer John Legend to complete the “EGOT” (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony), which is considered the “Grand Slam of Entertainment” and has only been accomplished by 15 people in history.

I also answer a question from the Ask Jim Mailbag about the advantages and disadvantages of a team “coming from behind” at the end of the season just before play-offs. (send your questions and feedback to [email protected])

Next….we stop by the Zone Café to check your overall performance mindset and send you out as a closer to have your best week ever!

The post Jim Fannin Show: Time For A Mental Diet? appeared first on Radio Influence.

On Sunday night in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the iconic Lambeau Field was unusually quiet. Superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers had been carted off the field with a knee injury, and the Chicago Bears led the Green Bay Packers 20-0 at halftime.

What no one could see coming was Rodgers returning to the game in the third quarter, leading the Packers to a stunning 24-23 win, which was sealed by an epic 75-yard touchdown pass.

Contrary to popular belief, “closers” are not born with some special ability. The people who successfully perform at critical times in business, sports and other arenas maintain high levels of Self-discipline, Concentration, Optimism, Relaxation and Enjoyment (S.C.O.R.E.®). With this delicate balance of mental intangibles, the “purposeful calm” of the Zone arrives. It is here that they simply execute the basics with uncanny intuition as their guide.

In this episode of The Jim Fannin Show, we take a look at the tools that champions use to win championships and how you can apply them to your everyday life.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• My take on the controversy surrounding the Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka tennis match at the U.S. Open Women’s Finals, and how to handle unforeseen circumstances that threaten to take you out of the Zone.

• The reason why “how you finish” (a task or an event) is so crucial, and why the Cleveland Browns “won” with their tie against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

• Why even 3-4 minutes of negative news can derail your performance for up to eight hours, according to one British study.

• How Starbucks is in unprecedented territory with their new store in Mexico City, staffed entirely by employees 55-66 years old.

Finally, we stop by the Zone Café and send you out as a closer to have the best week ever!

The post Jim Fannin Show: Champions Are Closers appeared first on Radio Influence.

Most of us have experienced defeat. This occurs when your expectations don’t match reality. Sometimes our best intentions and effort aren’t good enough. It’s here that we can find ourselves with a choice to make. Do we languish in defeat as a victim or judge or rise up to meet our next challenge as a champion?

In this episode of The Jim Fannin Show, we dissect how one man’s passion for success was derailed at no fault of his own. Within a short amount of time, he rises to a new level of success despite the negative thoughts and words from many naysayers, critics and non-believers.

Teddy Keaton was a head football coach that lost his previous team due to college budget cuts. Allen University was a college that wanted a winning football program despite an absence of football of 13 years. And they wanted this accomplished in less than one year. On paper, it sounds simple enough. In reality, building a football program from scratch is a series of large obstacles to overcome. During this interview, we look at how Coach Keaton moved from nothing more than a vision with no locker room, equipment, practice field, stadium or team to a season opening victory over Columbus State 47-3. This win was accomplished with 80 freshman, student athletes! Wow!

In this episode you’ll learn:

• The five performance levels and how you can fluctuate between them up to 30-40 times in a single day.

• As a true “underdog” Pickles (a mere 5-pound poodle) saved the lives of his family from a ravenous 200 lb. bear.

• How 55th ranked John Millman upset iconic champion Roger Federer at the U.S. Open.

• The heartwarming story of LeBron James surprising a high school with a new locker room and gear

• The reason that 2017 was the best year ever for nonprofits.

• How 94-year-old veteran Wally Richardson has changed the lives of middle school students for more than a decade through simple encouragement and extreme positivity.

Finally, we stop by the Zone Café for a quick S.C.O.R.E.® Check, as we send you out to your greatest week ever.

The post Jim Fannin Show: Success Is Getting Up One More Time From Defeat appeared first on Radio Influence.

One common misconception that I often come across is the idea that greatness is made of two ingredients: discipline and focus. For sure, those are two essential elements for peak performance. But individuals, teams and companies who are only driven by these two components will never discover their best. You need all five pieces of the S.C.O.R.E.® System. Leaning too much toward relaxation and enjoyment, nothing is going to get done. Similarly, if the only fuel in the tank comes from discipline and concentration, you’re speeding down the highway toward a destination of “burnout.” We all need periodic boosts of optimism, relaxation and enjoyment, and often those “mental reset” periods come through great music and inspirational songs.

My special guest on this episode is musician, songwriter Jim Peterik of the Ides of March, formerly of Survivor and of 38 Special fame. He has helped countless individuals “hop a ride” to a Zone state through the music of his own bands, as well as songs he’s written for The Beach Boys, REO Speedwagon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cheap Trick and many more. During his career, Jim has racked up 20 top 10 hits and has been honored with a Grammy Award and an Oscar nomination.

We dive into some of the most iconic moments of Jim’s career, like when Sylvester Stallone left Jim a voicemail to pen the theme song for Rocky III, which led to the instant classic, “Eye of the Tiger.” But at the heart of this episode lies the truth that music is an essential part of your toolbox for peak performance and an awesome, well-balanced life.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why even Jim Peterik’s “sad songs” are injected with a dose of positivity.

• The dramatic story of the Oakland A’s turnaround this season.

• How Odell Beckham Jr. achieved a high daily standard to become the highest paid wide receiver ever with the New York Giants.

• The incredible moves by Disney to provide free high school, trade school or college tuition to all hourly employees.

• How Jerusha Willenborg of Wichita, KS has created a Zone experience with a custom handshake for each student in her classroom.

• How to prepare for your greatest September ever!

As always, we wrap up with a S.C.O.R.E.® Check in the Zone Café and send you out for an awesome Zone week.

The post Jim Fannin Show: Music: Hop A Ride To The Zone appeared first on Radio Influence.

If you’re ready to go to the next level in your life, business or sport, this week’s Jim Fannin Show can help take you there.

Here’s a secret that some can hardly believe when I share it. I coached a pro golfer to become the best putter on the PGA tour without actually putting. How is this possible? Through the power of Visualization 2.0. This successful golfer was guided through four different types of visualization to go from last in the PGA in putting to 1st in only 90-days. Professional athletes from 10 sports and business leaders from 350 of the Fortune 500 have used these same techniques to reach the pinnacle of their craft.

American culture is built around “more.” Want to make more money? Put in additional hours. Looking to excel in a sport? You’ll have to up the time spent practicing, or so the common thought goes. But throwing hours at any task without adding brain power isn’t likely to produce the results you desire.

We’ve covered visualization on the Jim Fannin Show before, but this episode is unique. This week, we go deep into the methods that can program your subconscious mind to move you toward success, especially at critical moments of your life. This deep visualization has been proven in the Super Bowl, World Series, French Open and dozens of other iconic athletic events, as well as in some of the most successful corporations in the world. In this weekly episode, I walk you, step-by-step, through a visualization system that will help you reach peak performance, regardless of the pressure or challenges you’re facing.

In this interactive Jim Fannin Show episode, you’ll learn:

• How and when to utilize the four different types of visualization mastered by the world’s best champions.

• How 7-10 consecutive days of positive or negative thoughts can send a relationship toward bliss or divorce. If you’re in a relationship, THIS SEGMENT IS A MUST.

• The power of Synchronized Visualization that can transform a day, week, month and quarter into your ultimate life vision.

• How to improve your golf putting through an interactive, guided visualization segment.

• The relaxation techniques that enhance and leverage your visualization skills.

• The way one woman embraced optimism to survive 10 hours treading water at sea.

• What it will take for rookie QB Baker Mayfield to lead the Cleveland Browns to a turnaround.

• An incredible story of how the New York School of Medicine got “in the Zone” to offer free tuition to all students.

• How a Michigan restaurant prepared an “emergency wedding feast,” including specialty vegan and vegetarian entrees, in just 90 minutes!

Next, I guide you through a S.C.O.R.E.® Check in the Zone Café to determine the weak link in your overall mental attitude. This awareness can take you closer to peak performance in all you do.

Tonight, the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots will meet on the gridiron for the first time since Super Bowl 52. Imagine with me, for a moment, the first huddle. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady looks around at his starting players and says “So, did anybody do anything in the offseason? Anyone work out? Do we know the plays?” Hard to imagine this scenario ever happening, isn’t it?

Bottom line: Champions are the best prepared.

This preparation includes champion students, parents, business leaders, athletes and anyone else that wants to compete at the highest level.

Are your children ready to compete at school? Are you ready to parent them to peak performance, in addition to everything else you need to do? It’s time to get in the “make great grades” and “have an awesome school year” Zone!

Summer is a wonderful time for kids and teenagers to have fun, bond with family and friends, and try out new activities. It’s also often a time of staying up late, sleeping in past breakfast and forming other habits that don’t translate into a successful school year. Get over it. Summer’s over! It’s school time. Next!

In this Jim Fannin Show, I walk you through the habits and practices needed to give your kid(s) the best opportunity to have their best school year ever. It’s time to create a “back to school” blueprint to attract the Zone. The 10+ tips from this special episode are your homework assignments.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• The questions to ask every student to hold them accountable and keep them on track for academic and extracurricular success.

• The shift in mindset that’s changed Tiger Woods game and put him back in the mix to win a major.

• How my client Zack Collins, a top Chicago White Sox prospect, hit two home runs (including one grand slam!) in the 9th inning, one of the most difficult feats in all of sports.

• The incredible story of how Seattle rock band Pearl Jam raised $10 million to aid the city’s homeless population and spread a Zone mindset by inspiring over 100 area businesses to get involved as well.

Also, I answer a question from the “Ask Jim” Mailbag, about whether or not you can always be in a Zone state.

One of my favorite things to do when I first start coaching a company is simply to show up a little early and walk around. In that time, I can quickly get a feel for the thoughts and attitudes that make up the company. It’s a macro view available to anyone who will spend a few minutes looking.

However, most of us rush into the office with a mile-long to-do list and start hammering on tasks. If you’re in leadership, that means you could be obliviously sprinting past the corporate culture that runs like an operating system in the background, directing the thoughts and execution of the basics of your company.

In this Jim Fannin Show episode, Rob Wilson of EmployCo, USA shares his insight and experience of creating and fostering a winning corporate culture. Rob and I discuss decisive plans of action to help you win at work in hiring, onboarding, benefits, performance reviews and yes, even firing. Each of these processes contributes to the collection of corporate thoughts that govern the overall culture and success of your organization.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Specific tools on hiring and onboarding that are absolutely essential in an era where attracting and retaining talent is extremely difficult.

• How Penn State University research has proven that negativity in the first two hours of your day can wreck your productivity. (Confirming what Zoniacs have known for decades!)

• The vision it took for LeBron James to build an entire charter school!

• The daily routine of an 81-year old bodybuilder and personal trainer who didn’t start exercising until age 56.

• An amazing breakthrough in Alzheimer’s treatment that could help countless patients.

The post Jim Fannin Show: Create A Winning Corporate Culture appeared first on Radio Influence.

Can an entire city overcome hardship and despair and create an overarching, positive mindset of hope and optimism? Yes. This is possible in any city in America.

Even though the S.C.O.R.E.® Success System has been used in the World Series, Super Bowl, Olympics and 350 of the Fortune 500, I still run into the “Yeah, but Jim” responses. As in, “Yeah, but Jim, this challenge is just too difficult.” When coaching, one of my first jobs is to help my clients eliminate negatively that leads to the false belief that a person, a company or even an entire city can’t be turned around.

Can an entire city of thousands of residents have a collective, positive Zone mindset? Why not? It’s happening. There’s no doubt that my hometown of Ashland, Kentucky has faced serious challenges since I lived there as a boy. The area was deemed in a Gallop poll as the “saddest and most depressed” in the nation. The opioid crisis has produced devastating consequences and the local economy has been hit hard.

However, there’s no limit to what can be achieved by an individual, a group or even a city if the over-arching mindset is right. Yes…..greatness begins with a positive attitude and attitudes are contagious as they impact the whole. This summer in Ashland, ground was broken on a $1.3 billion aluminum plant, which is bringing new jobs and fresh hope to the area. Adding to the momentum is my former high school doubles partner, Dr. Jack Ditty, who launched the $60,000 Women’s Tennis Classic, drawing professional players from as far as Japan, South Africa and Serbia. This professional tennis tournament was met with infectious enthusiasm by the residents and businesses of Ashland. In addition, the entire event was streamed live internationally giving the area a complete public relations makeover.

How did my hometown attract an international pro tennis tournament? It was spawned from the positive mindset of my doubles partner and this week’s show guest Dr. Jack Ditty. His vision and relentless pursuit of excellence was the catalyst. One person can make a positive difference in an entire community. Why not you!

This is an episode about what it takes to bring results through unshakable positivity in a family, a neighborhood, a company and or even an entire city. And it’s a real life look at getting into a Zone mindset to achieve what others are calling impossible.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How a handful of players on the 2000 Seattle Mariners employed a handful of “attitude police” to keep negativity out of the locker room and off the field during the team’s hunt for the American League crown.

• The mindset that’s necessary for movie star Tom Cruise to perform a 200-mph free-fall into a lightning storm for the hit movie Mission Impossible: Fallout.

• How three top universities came together to create the world’s first artificial kidney, which is just two years from being implanted in a human.

• The way to find a Zone mindset after being blindsided by unforeseen circumstances, like when client J.D. Martinez had a home run removed from his record as the Boston Red Sox were stripped of an all but a guaranteed win over the Baltimore Orioles due to a questionable rain delay.

The post Jim Fannin Show: City In The Zone appeared first on Radio Influence.

This Jim Fannin Show episode is all about programming your life, business, or sport for success. Unfortunately, just as easily you can insert a negative program that can wreak havoc on your good intentions.

Have you ever felt your stomach tie up in knots with worry as you picture something you don’t want? How about seeing in your mind’s eye every possible way a work or personal situation can go wrong? What about getting stuck in traffic as you mentally picture yourself being late to your appointment? As a golfer have you replayed a bad tee shot that led to your triple bogie finish on the last hole of play?

All of the above are examples of visualization, but not particularly helpful ones! Positive and negative images from your thoughts dictate your success or failure. From coaching Fortune 100 executives to Cy Young Award winning pitchers and PGA champions, one of my top priorities is to help my clients eliminate negative daydreaming and flood their mind with visual solutions and results so they can experience abnormal success.

Essentially, you have “two minds.” The “conscious” mind is the one you know the best. This mind typically has 2000-3000 thoughts daily with each thought producing an image or picture in your mind’s eye. The “conscious” mind utilizes all your five senses to assist in your daily life as your thoughts vacillate into the future and or past, as well as parking itself in the present. This mind knows right from wrong and good from bad. It contains all positive or negative thought. It is rational. Of course, when you sleep it shuts down and becomes dormant.

The subconscious mind operates 24/7 behind the scenes and never shuts down. It governs all bodily functions to include breathing, digestion, cellular repair, healing, cooling the body, growing fingernails and hair and much more. In addition, it governs your intuition and its ability to attract positive people that can help manifest solutions and other success possibilities. Likewise, it houses your ability to attract and remain in the Zone phenomenon of peak performance. It keeps your “operating system” running behind the scenes from breathing, blood manufacture in the bone marrow to digestion without your conscious mind ever saying, “suck in oxygen now!” The great news is that brain science and over 2,500 clients have proven that the subconscious mind can be programmed to “pull” you towards your well-defined dreams, visions and goals. For over 40 years my clients have done this with record success!

When a major league baseball player sits in a mental swamp of dread that he’s going into a hitting slump, his body responds by tightening up and letting the perfect pitch sail by for a called strike. This is because his subconscious mind overrode his conscious mind so it can help him be true to the negative mental program he created. If you’re thinking consciously as a victim of circumstance, condition or situation your subconscious mind will keep you as a victim. Conversely, when you visualize success on a regular basis, you program your subconscious mind to act as a master puppeteer that coordinates your conscious mind and physical body to work together literally to manifest into reality what you see in your mind’s eye.

We visualize 60-70 % of our waking hours and we possess free will to picture anything we want. Why do we picture being a victim of negative circumstances, conditions and situations? Why do we envision failure especially when we have the power to envision success?

Champions think differently! They know visualization works to program their success. They know their subconscious mind does NOT know the difference between fantasy or reality. This means that with positive “free will” they can place anything on the screen of space of their conscious mind. With repetition and other proven performance techniques, these visualizations can and will manifest into their physical equivalent. Don’t you think it’s time to get on this positive, visualization pathway?

In this episode, I break down the four types of visualization: task, situational, symbolic, and aftermath. You need all of them and I discuss how each can be used for maximum results.

In this episode you’ll also learn:

• How Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian proved themselves to be true champions in their relationship by getting Italian food. (Hint: it wasn’t just any Italian food!)

• The In the Zone performance of St. Louis Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter as he entered a Zone state to become the second major-leaguer ever to go 5-for-5 with three home runs and two doubles in a game.

• How one couple with no previous experience founded a non-profit organization that turns ocean trash into prosthetic limbs for children in developing nations.

• The reason the life of Alabama native Walter Carr was changed by his brave decision to walk 20 miles to his first day at a new job after his car broke down.

Also, I answer a question from the “Ask Jim” Mailbag about helping kids get out of “summer mode” and prepare for a Zone school year. (Send your question(s) to [email protected]).
