Jim Fannin Show

How many times in your life have you heard the collective “they” tell that something isn’t possible? I’m talking about the armchair quarterbacks. The peanut gallery who’s sure it’s better to just give up now rather than to keep going. As a kid growing up deep in Coal Country, Kentucky, “They” told me I would never play pro tennis on the tour. (I was too busy on the pro circuit in Europe to ever check to see what “they” thought after I made it!)

One particularly critical “they” told me I would never make it in business after I had paid him $5,000 as a consultant in the 1970’s (closer to $20,000 in today’s currency). I’ve since helped over 2,500 clients in some of the most high-profile positions in business, pro sports and entertainment.

There’s one reply to the naysayers that I’ve always kept with me: “You don’t know me!”

That’s a phrase that I introduced to thousands of students and residents of my hometown of Ashland, Kentucky, as I kicked off coaching an entire city. The tri-state area of Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio has been hard hit by the opioid crisis and economic challenges. But everywhere I turned, I ran into the kindest, most generous people who are ready to face any challenge and critical “they” group with that powerful phrase, “You don’t know me!”

The person who shaped the “You don’t know me!” attitude in my life was my mother. As we approach Mother’s Day, we take a look at the scientific reasons why the first 60 months of life are so crucial, and why moms really do deserve the title “World’s Greatest Coach.” It was because of my Mom that I’d learned some of the most valuable lessons in life.

Here’s a part of what I learned in 1955 at the age of six:

• My confidence grew from introducing myself to strangers. This was mandatory! Look a stranger in the eye long enough to discern eye color and introduce yourself. “Hi! I’m Jimmy Fannin. How are you?” I learned to network.

• In school, I learned three French phrases. Wow! Mom and I acted French around the house. I learned the world is huge and we’re different in how we speak and act.

• Stashed inside a cigar box, I deposited $35 into a savings account. After begging my Mom, we returned to the bank to check on my money. I was bummed it wasn’t in the cigar box. I learned about money, interest and banks.

• With mother approval, I sold handpicked apples door-door in my little red wagon. I made my first dollar. I learned to be an entrepreneur. I learned about capitalism.

• The “money thing” got me a little crazy and I sold all my toys to friends and neighbors for a combined total of $2.75. Mom went berserk! Risk and reward was now in its infancy stage of learning. I learned the value of money. I learned to buy low and sell high.

• My grandfather made moonshine and let me have my first sip of the ol’ white lightening. My Mother found out and I’m certain he got punished. I learned even grown-ups get in trouble.

For more life lessons and why mom is the world’s greatest coach plus…How I coached thousands of residents in eastern Kentucky.

In this episode of the Jim Fannin Show you’ll also learn:

• The attitude that LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have held as they return to the NBA finals, despite many voices in the media who predicted the team wouldn’t be able to turn around a season that experienced major bumps along the way.

• Why the Boston Celtics have found a way to perform in the playoffs despite the loss of two superstars to injury this season.

• The inspiring story of Justin Gallegos, a runner overcoming Cerebral Palsy, who just finished his first half marathon thanks to a special shoe designed by Nike.

• Why I’ve never had a bad day since November 8, 1965 (approximately 20,000 consecutive positive days).

Finally, we open the Jim Fannin Mailbag as I answer the question “What do I do if some of my goals are falling by the wayside?” and place our orders at the Zone Café, as we send you out for an awesome Zone week!

This week’s episode of the Jim Fannin Show is ALL about YOU. The “Self” arena of most people’s life is often neglected and placed on a backburner. This life arena contains your thoughts and actions regarding your daily physical and mental wellness, nutrition, sleep, exercise, and spirituality. Once you take care of you, you can more readily take care of others

Champions treat themselves like champions.

Champions are also prepared to take care of themselves. When Boston Red Sox pitcher Mike Timlin twisted his knee fielding a ball, he instantly knew the injury was major. Fortunately, Mike and I had prepared for a situation like this. As the crowd held their collective breath while Mike was being carted off the field, he was already using “symbolic imagery” to get on the road to swift recovery. After surgery, Mike defied the expectations of doctors and coaches alike to return to the mound in record time.

This episode is all about managing you. I am freely sharing mental tools for avoiding a cold, recovering from illness or an unexpected injury, as well as placing order in your life with upgraded “See-ables,” “Be-ables” and Do-ables. This episode even has tools for losing weight and getting fit and it will definitely take you further down the pathway of being your genuine, authentic, best self.

Often, when things don’t go our way, it’s easy for each one of us to play the victim and the judge. Many of us sink into self-pity and self-deprecation while blaming others for our circumstances, situation or condition. To get out of this mental quicksand of thought and positively manifest your life blueprint, it’s crucial to first manage you. Manage what you can control and this includes your thoughts, time and energy, as well as your physical surroundings.

In this episode of the Jim Fannin Show, you will learn:

• What to put on “the screen of your mind” if you do suffer physical injury.

• The ideal temperature to keep your bedroom year-round in order to wake up each day rested and ready to go.

• Why a recent study from MIT shows that your early 40’s is a surprising time of career rebirth or reinvention.

• How nine-year-old Lilly Platt is in the Zone inspiring adults to clean up plastic from the ocean. She is amazing!

• Why it’s so important for your mental performance to maintain order and cleanliness in your bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, garage, office and car.

• How Howard University graduate Jessica Johnson has helped college students earn more than $35 million in scholarships, cutting the average student debt load in half.

• What to do each night in order to lose weight.

• My solutions and answers to the “Ask Jim” Mailbag segment about a parent who’s 16 year old feels “overwhelmed” by the sheer number of college choices, and doesn’t know how to move forward.

Finally, we place our order at the Zone Café, as we send you out for an awesome Zone week!

The post Jim Fannin Show: Managing YOU – It’s All About Me, Myself, & I appeared first on Radio Influence.

On one hand, Alex Cora has a dream job. As the rookie skipper for one of the most storied teams in all of sports, Alex has led the Boston Red Sox to the best record in baseball so far, and one of the most successful starts in team history. That said, the blessing also comes with sky high expectations, both inside and outside the clubhouse.

Boston is one of the most passionate sports cities in the world, and everyone from sports reporters to the fan on the street have an opinion on how the team should be run. Each day, it’s Alex’s job to “cut through the clutter” and guide the team to a high daily standard as the Red Sox pursue the ultimate goal—winning the World Series.

In this candid and forthright interview, Alex breaks down how he manages the internal and external expectations revolving around the Red Sox continued path to success.

We also break down 7 steps to managing expectations in your personal life:

1. Setting expectations too high or too low.

In this week’s episode of the Jim Fannin Show, you will learn:

• How the Utah Jazz have defied the critics who claimed the team couldn’t compete in the playoffs “without a major star.”

• The parrot (yes, really!) who’s participating in this year’s NFL draft!

• The story of Mohamed Bzeek, a Libyan born immigrant who has quietly been foster parenting terminally ill children in Los Angeles County for more than three decades.

• How to move forward after a “beyond your control” major shakeup at your company or organization. The unexpected happens just like the Cincinnati Reds players found out with the firing of their manager Bryan Price less than a month into the season.

Plus, we take a look at the “Ask Jim” Mailbag, where I answer “What questions would you ask potential NFL recruits to test their mental strength and potential as professional athletes?”

Imagine walking by one of the best (and highest paid) musicians in the world performing for free, just for your enjoyment. But instead of stopping to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience, you rush on to your destination, tuning out the sweet music played on one of the most expensive instruments in the world.

I won’t spoil the whole story, since it’s showcased in this week’s episode of The Jim Fannin Show (aka America’s Most Positive Podcast), but rest assured thousands of people ignored a moment that will never come again. Why? Because these early morning commuters were lost in chaos thinking.

Small, medium and large corporations lose untold profits each year because of chaos leadership, management and thinking. It costs elite teams championship titles they had the skill to win, but not the collective champion’s mindset. Chaos thinking can even cause you to miss out on life’s most beautiful moments.

Here is the good news! Even if you’ve been lost in chaos thinking all day or even all of 2018, you can fix it… NOW. In this episode, you’ll receive the mental tools and tactics to get out of chaos thinking and back on the path to being your genuine, authentic best self.

In this episode of the Jim Fannin Show, you will learn:

• That 60% of the average person’s thoughts are in natural chaos and how you can drastically reduce or eliminate chaos thinking and start performing like a champion.

• The steps you must take if you find yourself “thinking like a goldfish” and unable to hold a thought for more than a few seconds.

• How Desiree Linden overcame brutal race conditions to become the first American woman in 33 years to win the Boston Marathon.

• The “feel good” story of how a grandson surprised his grandmother with an unselfish act just weeks before she died.

• The three critical things needed to empower your team.

• How two seniors are making a difference in the lives of disabled veterans.

• What you can do to help the elderly (You do know you’ll be old someday).

• The significant statistics that both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have surpassed in the NBA playoffs, by consistently achieving a high standard of performance.

• How to have your best year of golf ever in 2018! Ready to play your best round of golf with your same old swing? Check out my exclusive Golf in the Zone School!

• My solutions and answers to the “Ask Jim” Mailbag segment. Today I answer. “What do I say if I have to represent my business to the media after a “negative event?”

In this week’s Jim Fannin Show, we’re going to play two movies on the screen of your mind. In the first movie, look at each area or arena of your life, and imagine what you don’t want. Now, play the movie again, and put exactly what you do want in each area on the movie screen of your mind. If either scenario is projected 5, 10 and 20 years in the future with little to no significant changes, how will your life turn out?

This episode is all about focusing your thoughts to travel toward your positive, well defined goals and vision and away from the “negative blueprint” that occurs when your thoughts are in chaos, anxiety, doubt, indecision, apprehension, worry or fear.

The amazing (or scary) thing about your subconscious mind is that it can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality. I’ve had sports clients who have completely shocked their teams by coming back from injury much faster than the “experts” predicted would happen. On the flip side, I’ve also known someone who got cancer after she told me repeatedly “I want to die” after enduring a terrible, personal tragedy.

Ready to experience super healing by putting exactly what you want on the screen of your mind? Ready to reverse the negativity in your company? Ready to change your family, neighborhood and even your city?

Let’s dive into this week’s episode to change your thinking and change your life course!

In this episode of the Jim Fannin Show, you will learn:

• The Major League Baseball accomplishment of Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani, which hasn’t been seen in baseball since Babe Ruth in 1921.

• How both Master’s champion Patrick Reed, along with Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth played Golf in the Zone.

• Why the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers hit their longest winning streak since 1983, while star player Joel Embiid was sidelined by injury.

• How to “Reboot” when you catch yourself in a negative thought.

• How “free will” and your inner dialogue govern your success in life.

Also, I answer a coaching question from the “Ask Jim” Mailbag about how to turn a regular business meeting being brought down by negativity into a positive!

The post Jim Fannin Show: Beware! Are You Playing The Right Movie? appeared first on Radio Influence.

In this week’s Jim Fannin Show that airs during the first round of the 2018 Masters Tournament, I discuss “What and who is a master?”

A master is extraordinary. This person is unique. This is a rare artist, performer or player of consummate skill. This individual is an expert at their craft. Typically, it’s a person of the past whose work serves as a model or ideal.

A master has spent an inordinate amount of time and effort in honing his or her craft. They excel at the basics of their passionate work and fully understand all of the nuances that come with it. A window of mastery opened to this individual when experience, knowledge, skill and passion culminated at the same time. A relentless pursuit of excellence brought them to this place in time. Through a myriad of challenges, they remained true to the purity of their craft. These are the masters.

Who is a master? Think of Jimi Hendrix as he magically stroked his guitar. He felt the music and it exploded through his fingers to mesmerized audiences. The great guitarists that followed all dreamed of Jimi’s riffs.

Think of painters Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, or Jackson Pollock. They permeate our visual senses with the delicate touch of their artist’s stroke. When I helped launch the famous South Beach artist Romero Britto, it was Picasso that he emulated.

Emily Dickinson was a master of the English word. Her poetry stands the test of time as it invokes feelings of our own mortality. She has been recognized as one of the world’s top 50 most influential women.

Ansel Adams captured the beauty of the American West with his amazing black and white photographs. One glance at his scenes of Yosemite National Park and you immediately think his name. Generations of photographers have tried in vain to capture his magic.

And remember Fred Astaire? How he graced the stage! He was a virtuoso dancer whose career spanned 78 years. He had technical control and an astonishing sense of rhythm. Rudolf Nureyev, Sammy Davis, Jr., Michael Jackson, Gregory Hines, Mikhail Baryshnikov all felt his influence. He made us all want to dance.

These are truly Masters.

This week, the 2018 Masters Tournament will be played. The best of the best golfers will arrive. Less than 100 men from around the globe will gather to test their craft in the tiny Georgia town of Augusta. One will be declared the Masters champion. Each contestant will leave Washington Road and turn onto Magnolia Lane to the world’s greatest golf tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club. This memorable lane is 330 yards long and is adorned by 61 beautiful magnolia trees. For 35 years, I’ve traveled up this picturesque driveway. I know it well. Through this entrance the players will approach a 365-acre compound that encases the 18-hole course. This will be the player’s canvas where they will attempt to paint a masterpiece.

But will the champion be a master?

The victor will place a white ball into 18 cups with the least amount of shots or strokes. The 7,435-yard course is spectacular with more than 80,000 plants of more than 350 varieties that adorn the Augusta National grounds but don’t let the beauty fool you. Only a masterful performance on the treacherous and demanding course in front of the most knowledgeable spectator base in the world will wear the “Green Jacket” as the symbol of his mastery.

The following players won the Masters leading the tournament wire-to-wire. They are Craig Wood (1941), Arnold Palmer (1960), Jack Nicklaus (1972), Raymond Floyd (1976) and Jordan Spieth (2015). Each had a truly masterful performance. Did this distinction make them a master?

Trevor Immelman, Charl Schwartzel, Zach Johnson, Mike Weir, Vijay Singh, Angel Cabrera and Sergio Garcia all won here. They slipped on the Green Jacket. However, these one-hit wonders are not masters. In fact, there is only one master. Tiger, Phil, Gary and Arnie definitely are to be considered. However, if and when Tiger garners his 5th green jacket (after much adversity), I would associate master with his name. But for my money, there is only one that I would place next to Hendrix, Picasso, Dali, Jackson, Adams, Dickinson and Astaire.

Yes, it’s Jack. It has to be Jack Nicklaus who won the Masters six times between 1963 and 1986. His 18 Major victories and his 73 official Tour wins have him standing alone. When the “moment of truth” arrives, the master works his craft. From behind the ropes, I watched him win in 1986.

I coached PGA Tour rookie John Cook in 1980. John’s playing partner this particular day was Jack Nicklaus. The 2-iron was not friendly to Jack. I watched him butcher two of them during the round. Upon finishing, Cook and I went to the range to work. Jack later came to the range, plopped his bag down and proceeded to pull out his 2-iron. We watched in stunned silence as Nicklaus hit the 2-iron as pure as possible. It was majestic. One swing. Only one! He then placed his club back in his bag and left. He never said a word. The master appeared and then was gone in a matter of seconds. Witnessing this one practice shot was like watching a starving man eat just one potato chip. Not possible!

The good believe. The great expect. The master knows.

The memory of the “Golden Bear” still prowls the grounds of Augusta National. He influenced the current stars of today’s game. The game’s elite and the other wannabes all chase his legacy.

Jack Nicklaus was and still is a master for the ages.

In this week’s episode, we glean an inside look from former PGA winner and notable Masters color commentator for CBS and Golf Channel, Frank Nobilo. Frank and I discuss this year’s field and reveal who’s hot, who’s not and the keys to winning.

In this episode of the Jim Fannin Show, you will learn:

· How Tiger Woods can win this year’s Masters.

· How Ian Poulter played Golf in the Zone to garner the final spot in the Masters

· The masterful story of this year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament and how Villanova won it all.

· The “one word” ALL golfers need in order to play Golf in the Zone.

· The reason you should attend at least one Masters in your lifetime.

· How University of Illinois head coach Mike Small helped his men’s golf team play in the Zone to win the prestigious 3M Augusta Invitational.

· What one thought each Masters’ participant MUST avoid.

· How to have your greatest Q2 and April ever!

Also, I answer a coaching question from the “Ask Jim” Mailbag about a proven strategy to overcome apprehension and achieve peak performance during a job interview.

During the NCAA Basketball Tournament, the difference between winning and losing can be a last second three pointer or who gets to a loose ball the fastest. To walk away with the prize, it’s absolutely essential that everyone is pulling in the same direction.

On this episode of the Jim Fannin Show, we deconstruct two teams from the NCAA Elite Eight. Our guests are Dr. John Planek of Lewis University (formerly of Loyola and 2017-2018 Under Armor Division II Athletic Director of the Year) and Bruce Weber, head coach of the Kansas State Men’s basketball team.

Remarkably, these two leaders follow very similar “character first” strategies to build championship programs. In this episode, you’ll find principles and tactics that can be applied to business, family and sports to help get your “team” (whether that team is you and a significant other, you and your coworkers or you and your family) to new levels of success.

In this episode of the Jim Fannin Show, you will learn:

· A powerful way of thinking about motivating a team through a difficult season or large obstacle.

· How Kansas State mounted a comeback this year after losing their star point guard to an injury, and how the students stepped into the leadership vacuum to turn the season around.

· The essence of a team performing in the Zone.

· The three things each team member needs to be on a championship team.

· The reason Iceland, a nation with the same population as Lexington, KY beat soccer powerhouse England to advance to the World Cup.

· How to prepare your best 2nd quarter ever in April, May and June.

· The reason that it’s absolutely essential to pre-plan moments of Relaxation and Enjoyment for yourself and your team when you’re facing arduous challenges, like the grinding MLB season (which kicks off this week).

Also, I answer a coaching question from the “Ask Jim” Mailbag about “How do I review the first quarter of my year?” I reveal how going to “Higher Ground” will give you clarity, balance and ultimately excellence.

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

Ten days ago, even the most passionate college basketball fans weren’t paying attention to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Then, they achieved the unthinkable. UCMB knocked off Virginia in the NCAA tournament, the first time in history a #16 seed bested a #1.

How is something like that possible? Through rock solid belief and maintaining “the constants” in every practice, warmup and game. In a world of increasingly chaotic variables, the individual, the team or the company who holds onto the positive constants will prevail.

But how can you keep the constants, well…constant? In this episode, I break down some of the constants that are essential in your career, personal finance, relationships and parenting.

Plus, Rob Wilson, President of Employco, USA, joins the show to talk about the essential constants that are a must in the hiring and firing process of every company. This interview provides valuable insights from a world-class expert that could save your company money by avoiding major blunders! If you are a leader in your company, don’t miss this segment.

In this episode of the Jim Fannin Show, you will learn:

• How LeBron James achieves peak performance night after night by keeping an expert with him at nearly all times (preview: it’s a Navy Seal!)

• The wonderful story of “Sister Jean,” the 98-year-old Loyola Men’s Basketball chaplain and talent scout. “Go Ramblers” as they enter the NCAA Championship Sweet 16

• The “one word” that Coach Bruce Weber believes has kept his Kansas State men’s basketball team on the road to an NCAA Championship (only four wins to go)

• The reason your company must be fastidious about the employee handbook.

• How spring cleaning the “see-ables” in your life create positive constants for a major boost in confidence.

Also, I answer a coaching question from the “Ask Jim” Mailbag about the Tiger Woods comeback as the PGA tour gears up for the 2018 Masters Tournament. Tiger fans will get my take on how he can wear the green jacket one more time.

What is blocking your pathway to success? Why haven’t you achieved all you want to accomplish? Why is it taking so long? In this week’s Jim Fannin Show, you will find answers to all of these questions. Be ready to sit-in on two of my “live” private coaching sessions. I promise each will reveal what you need to do to advance to your next level of success.

Here goes…

What could a Grammy nominated songwriter, who dreams of capturing music’s most coveted award, have in common with a college runner coming off of an injury?

To the casual listener, absolutely nothing. The former sits down with a guitar or piano to try to channel his creativity into transcendent moments of human emotion, while the latter is trying to reach peak performance for the NCAA Division II tournament.

However, in this episode you’ll discover that both can reach peak performance by eliminating chaos thinking. In a first ever on America’s Most Positive Podcast, I take calls from two performers who have done well but are still trying to reach their next level of success. With each of our guests, I know absolutely nothing about them until they’re “live” on the show. Hear their stories and witness how I help them go to the next level.

I’m not going to drop any spoilers, but if you’re a longtime listener to the Jim Fannin Show you can probably guess that both need to swap out chaos thinking for a crystal-clear vision of the future.

In this episode of the Jim Fannin Show, you will learn:

• How chaos thinking places a blindfold on achieving success.

• Why a blueprint is crucial for a dream to come true.

• Why you must know the exact details of your well-defined goals and aspirations.

• How the B2A Principle of reverse-engineering your vision or dream works like magic and sets you on a pathway of success.

• The mental shift the Kentucky men’s basketball team made to go from a losing streak to winning the SEC Tournament and advance their hopes of another NCAA championship.

• The one tool to use when you realize your mind is in chaos. You can tap into the mindset of a true champion in just 90 seconds or less!

• Why a one-hour private coaching session with Jim will be a life-changer.

Also, I answer a coaching question from the “Ask Jim” Mailbag about how to help children achieve mental focus and peak performance when they’re dealing with apprehension before the big game.

The post Jim Fannin Show: No More Chaos Thinking! appeared first on Radio Influence.

There is one thing most Oscar Awards’ viewers weren’t thinking about as the iconic golden statues were handed out Sunday night. It is the massive task to take an idea to the big screen. From “The Shape of Water” to “Get Out,” every movie released to theaters is a report card on whether or not a very large team of actors, producers and crew were able to get into the Zone to create something unforgettable.

This episode is all about “How to eat an elephant,” and as the old saying goes, it’s “one bite at a time.” To break that maxim down further, you eat an elephant with its incredible size by saying NO to negativity, anxiety, and worry and YES to visualization, optimism, and executing well-defined goals.

John Buck has eaten several elephants in his life. As a promising baseball draft choice, he devoured the competition and was finally selected as an MLB All-Star catcher with millions of dollars in earnings. The first time I met John, I told him he was “much more than a baseball player.” He embraced this realization with total understanding, commitment and passion. His quest was to be his genuine, authentic best self in all aspects of his life.

After a successful baseball career, John decided to retire early to spend more time with his wife and three young children. When his playing days had come to a close, John reached a level of fitness he was never able to achieve as an MLB player, gained new skills in skiing and other outdoor sports, and focused on being a world class parent and spouse. He did all of this all while venturing into business and giving back to his community.

No, John isn’t “lucky.” He has segregated his life into multiple, stand alone arenas with laser focus on each section. He is a true champion by being his best in every facet of his life. You’ll love listening to his story, as he showcases how to eat an elephant of living a life of simplicity, balance and abundance.

In this episode of the Jim Fannin Show, you will learn:

• The mental strategy the late Roger Bannister used to break the four-minute mile record in 1954, despite the naysayers who thought running that fast would end in death.

• The story of a prospective NFL draftee with a blazing fast 40-yard time, who has overcome the amputation of one hand to excel on the gridiron.

• How to let go of that “one thing” that’s hobbled your peak performance, like a pebble in your shoe that throws off your running gait.

• How you can book Jim for a one-hour coaching session.

Also, I answer a coaching question from the “Ask Jim” Mailbag about how to structure a corporate retreat around the S.C.O.R.E. Success System.
