Where to Start?

Where to start? Well, let’s start with the bad news. Everything is working against your performing at PEAK. You have the media, technology, social trends, and ingrained stigmas pushing you away from PEAK performance.

Let me give you an example, I was speaking with a friend while at my summer home over the July 4^th long weekend. He is one of the best golfers in our club and the Member/Guest tournament always starts the Thursday after the 4^th of July. I asked him if he was spending the week. He said no he was heading back to the office for Tuesday and Wednesday. I followed with “Why”? His response was “I have to put the face time in”. At this point it hit me, 50% of those putting in 50 to 60 hour weeks are just putting in face time. They're not operating at PEAK levels! They are there because they think they have to be to get ahead and receive advancement. Wouldn’t it be better if they worked 40 hours a week but were working at PEAK level the majority of the time?

Yes, I know that there are times when the work load at a company might require the extra time. But this should be the exception not the norm.

Another example would be the proliferation of drug commercials on TV. Don’t eat better, take a pill. Don’t exercise, take a pill. Don’t solve the problem, take a pill to remove the systems. Don’t do the right thing, take the easy way out.

So together let’s fight the pressure to go in the wrong direction taking the quick fix or following the crowd even if they are running in the wrong direction. You can take control of yourself making your own way to true PEAK performance. I will help.
