1. This Week's JumpstartWe're all talking to ourselves every moment of our lives, except during certain portions of our sleeping cycle. We're seldom even aware that we're doing it. We all have a running commentary in our heads on events and our reactions to them. Here are some tips to remember: * Be aware of the silent conversations you have with yourself. Are you a nurturing coach or a critic? Do you reinforce your own success or negate it? Are you comfortable saying to yourself, "That's more like it." "Now we're in the groove." "Things are working out well." "I'll do it better next time." Apply these tips and keep the running commentary in your head on a positive note! -- Denis Waitley
2. The Champion Within ArticleHow to Find the Olympian Within by Denis Waitley (excerpted from The Seeds of Greatness Treasury book)You're standing on the highest pedestal, the one in the center. You hear the roar of approval from the crowd. As the first note of the national anthem is played in the Olympic stadium, you feel all the pride and honor that accompanies this moment. Ten thousand hours of preparation for this one triumphant moment in history. You've won the gold! That dream of an Olympic championship is in the heart of every amateur athlete, just as the Grand Final, World Cup, Super Bowl and Wimbledon are the goals of professional football players and tennis players. What are your dreams? You're most likely not a world-class athlete, but surely you have aspirations of your own. Perhaps you imagine a metaphorical gold medal being placed around your neck by the CEO of your company, or by your friends and family for being the best in your own unique way. Maybe you wonder whether you're up to the risk of starting your own business. On Sundays my grandparents would take us children to ride the huge merry-go-round next to the San Diego Zoo. We could hardly wait to mount those bobbing zebras, lions, tigers and stallions, and whirl round and round to the music of the antique pipe organ. Surrounded by mirrors and lights, our hearts would pound in anticipation as we stretched out desperately, trying to be the one among all the riders who would grab the gold ring and win another ride. So began my competitive spirit. Since you're probably younger than I am, you may never even have heard of grabbing the gold ring on the carousel. But in the 40s, and 50s, if you reached out and caught it, you not only got a free ride – your name was also announced over the loudspeaker and all the other kids and their parents would applaud. And, of course, the kids all wished it could have been them instead of you. Reflecting back now on my youth, I've come to some realizations. I guess I did start out thinking of success and winning as something that you got by reaching outside yourself and proving to others that you were worthy. Come to think of it, most of my friends also believed that you had to prove, or earn, or win, or perform in some special way, and then you would deserve the gold ring or the Olympic gold medal. The approval of others seemed to precede feelings of self-confidence and self-worth. You were entitled to feel good about yourself only after you performed well. Why did it take me so many years to discover that just the reverse ought to be true? After devoting most of my lifetime to investigating the well-springs of personal and professional success, I'm able to make the following statements with great confidence: - You need to feel love inside yourself before you can offer it to anyone else. The key trait shared by athletic champions and winners in every walk of life is the fundamental belief in one's own internal value. If your success depends on external possessions, you'll be subject to constant anxiety. When your peer group cheers one of your accomplishments, you'll feel good for a while, but then you'll wonder if they'll cheer as loudly the next time. If they're critical, you will feel hurt and threatened. The truth is, you can never win over a long period of time if your concept of success depends upon the perfect performance or the placing of a gold medal around your neck. It's obvious that talent, looks and other attributes aren't equally distributed, but we're all given an abundance of value – more than we could use in several lifetimes. The game of life certainly isn't played on a level playing field for each of us in terms of education, a supportive home life, and other circumstances beyond our control, but I can assure you that you were born with the qualities of a champion. That's what I mean by value. You see, champions are born, but they can be unmade by their perceptions, exposure and responses. Losers are not born to lose. They're programmed that way by their own responses to their environment and their decisions. There's a phrase I like to use – The Inner Winner -- that describes the kind of person who recognizes his or her internal value, and who is able to use that recognition as the foundation for achieving any goal. Denis Waitley My good friend, Chris Widener, did an in-depth interview with me, as well as other individuals such as Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, Colette Carlson, John Connors (former CFO of Microsoft), Tony Alessandra and many more. Chris learned early on that if you're interested in achieving success easier, faster and with fewer struggles, then one of the easiest ways is to learn how other successful people did it and then simply... Copy them! I believe this is one of the most comprehensive personal development and success library ever created and is a must for your personal and business library.

Seeds of Greatness by Denis Waitley(These quotes were taken from Denis Waitley's The Seeds of Greatness Treasury)I'd Rather Watch a Winner I'd rather watch a winner, than hear one any day; So please, my loving parents let your lives show me the way. I'm only a reflection of what you taught today But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live. So teach me by example, don't preach about what's right; And show me by your actions every day and night. I know that you're not perfect, in the things you do and say; And the lectures you deliver are to help me find my way;
4. The Winner's Edge Coaching TipsThis week's INSPIRING tip comes from my good friend and colleague, Chris Widener. Chris is one of those young guys in the industry that I have a great amount of respect for. He's worked with some of the top names in the industry (see my special product offer below) and is successful in his own right. One of my favorite subjects he speaks about is being a person of influence. Well in this tip, he refers to a person of influence as a leader. Chris, thanks for sharing your wisdom and ideas with my readers! -- DW
The first thing that an aspiring leader must realize is that they must be inspiring! That is, they must be capable of, and willing to inspire people on to greater things than if the leader were not in their lives. So, is this too grandiose an ideal for the average local business owner? Absolutely not. The people who work at your business, school or organization need to be inspired by you on a regular basis. It is what keeps them from giving up. Remind them of the big picture Chris Widener
5. Featured Product of the WeekFirst of all let me say, I believe this is one of the most comprehensive personal development and success library ever created, and it is a MUST for your personal and business library! I am very excited to share with you because it has been two years in the making! When Chris Widener approached me and asked me to join him on his television show, Made for Success, I immediately said, "Yes!" Not only did he do an in-depth interview with me, he also invited other individuals such as Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, Colette Carlson, John Connors (former CFO of Microsoft), Tony Alessandra and many more to be on his show. Why? Because Chris learned early on that if you're interested in achieving success easier, faster and with fewer struggles, then one of the easiest ways is to learn how other successful people did it and then simply... Copy them! That's what Chris did. But he took it a step further and through his television show he decided to give back... He wanted to share this same information with as many as possible. Well, as with all television shows, these were recorded… And now Chris has graciously agreed to let me make them available to you at a very special price (individually or as a complete collection).
