1. This Week's JumpstartThe reason most people spend their time on low priority "busy work" is that it's easier to do and does not require additional knowledge, skills or coordination with someone else. Set your priorities on a "must-do-now," "should-do-today," and "need-to-do-when-possible" basis. Set them every day, no later than the early morning of the day you are beginning – preferably, the last action of the previous day. Concentrate your time and energies on the 20 percent of your activities, contacts and concepts that have proven most productive to you in the past. Remember the "80/20 rule" named after Vilfredo Pareto, a nineteenth-century Italian economist: 80 percent of the production volume usually comes from 20 percent of the producers. What this means is that you need to focus your sphere of influence on the most productive people and actions. This week focus on doing high priority work first!
2. The Champion Within ArticleThe Power of the Right Coach by Denis WaitleyThroughout history, most of the great achievements and incredible comebacks have been the result of an individual whose motivation to persevere was influenced by a coach or mentor. In science, art, politics, sports, and business, there is a common thread of having been coached among those who achieve greatness. A coach doesn't need to be a professional consultant or counselor. He or she could be someone within your organization or industry, or it could be someone from your personal life whom you respect or admire. According to the research, one of the most interesting qualities of these motivated individuals is their ability to recognize potential sources of support in other people, to look beyond the walls of their homes to find relatives, friends, teachers, or other role models who can provide help. This very important finding illustrates the benefits of forming mentor relationships to encourage achievement. Choosing a coach or mentor is like having an additional correctional device to keep you on target. An analogy of this premise comes from aerospace technology. Years ago, the military used inertial guidance systems on missiles. Unfortunately, once the course of an inertially guided missile is set, it proceeds along that path with no capability for adjustments. It's like a bullet fired from a rifle. Even when the aim is good at the outset, if the target moves unexpectedly once the projectile is in flight, the shot is going to miss. And if there's one thing you can count on in life, it's that the target is going to be moving! In the Gulf War of 1992, the Patriot missile that defended Israel and Saudi Arabia was introduced. Unlike previous defenses, this system had an advanced self-adjusting navigation system that continuously monitored the missile's trajectory as well as the path of its swiftly moving target. The Patriot was able to make whatever corrections were necessary, regardless of changes in the position or speed of its objective. A highly motivated person uses a coach or mentor in the same way when he or she has targeted a worthwhile goal. A coach or mentor can assist you in making adjustments and navigating through difficult times. Finding coaches and mentors is an important mission, and you will no doubt have several over the course of your life. It is critical that you choose them wisely. Your mentor is someone to whom you'll be committing a great deal of time and attention, and who ideally will take a very focused interest in you as well.

Seeds of Greatness by Denis WaitleySeeds of Discipline: Excellence is a Habit We learn by observation, imitation and repetition. Habits begin as offhanded remarks, ideas and images. And then, layer upon layer, through practice, they grow from cobwebs into cables that shackle or strengthen our lives. Habits are like submarines. They run silent and deep. First we make our habits, then our habits make us. Habits are like comfortable beds. They are easy to get into, but difficult to get out of. Winning and Losing are both learned habits.
4. The Winner's Edge Coaching TipsThis week's coaching tip covers being both optimistic and realistic. So having said that, Fly with the Eagles! Don't run around with the Henny Pennys who are looking up, chanting, "The Sky is Falling!" Optimism and realism go together. They are the problem-solving twins. Pessimism and cynicism are the two worst companions. Your best friends should be individuals who are the "No problem, it's just a little, temporary inconvenience" type. As you help other people in need on a daily basis, also develop an inner circle of close associations in which the mutual attraction is not sharing problems or needs. The mutual attraction should be values and goals. This week, when challenges arise, say to yourself, "No problem!" find the positive and see how quickly you can turn that challenge into something great!
