Commitment

I’m evaluating the things that I want to achieve and what actions I’m taking towards them.  What I realised is that great achievement requires great commitment. The question I ask myself is “How badly do you want this?”

A couple of things:

  • I want to be a brilliant, world-class public speaker. A good way for me, to measure this is to win competitions in Toastmasters International. Guys like Steve Pavlina and Derren La Croix and even my friend Christof committed to doing at least 3 Toastmasters speeches every week in order to achieve the level of excellence and intuition in front of a crowd that’s necessary to win a competition of that magnitude. My next action is to book myself to speak at more Toastmasters clubs, and then SHOW UP. Another action I will take is to do stand up comedy, and keep doing it till I’m great at it.
  • My energy and ferocious creativy and courage in business are enhanced by an excellent foundation of health. The next actions to take are to set up an excercise routine and stick to it, make the healthiest food choice every time, and to stop social smoking.
  • I want to feel and be more confident in my body and my looks. In fact, I want my body to be exceptionally fit and strong, which forms a foundation for confidence, speed, energy, discipline and so much else. The next action is to commit to absolute excellence in my gym and fitness. I will also be running the Knysna half-marathon this year (in July, I think).

“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, magic and power in it”. – Johan Wolfgang Von Goeth
Whatever you

I AM AN EXTREMIST

This is the path to success and world-changing excellence.

Excellence is my only standard. Excellent health, excellent fitness, extreme wealth, excellent relationships.

Seldom do extraordinary results come from ordinary efforts.

(I take this philosophy from some good friends who I admire personally and professionally. These people inspire me.)
