His ability to come up big in high pressure moments has earned him the comparison to Joe Montana, one of the best “big game” quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. But it hasn’t been Tom Brady’s passing skills that have helped set him apart from other great NFL quarterbacks. It’s his dedication, preparation and leadership skills.

Image Credit | Twenty20.com Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn Do you know that success comes down to two things, effort and strategy? Most people fail because they don’t put in the necessary effort to get the results that they want. And effort is something that you will have to do on your own. Just like what Jim Rohn said, “ You can’t hire someone else to do your push-ups for you .” As for strategy, here is the 3-step strategy you can create more success this year : 1 . Learn From The Past How was your last year? Did you achieve all your goals or most of your goals last year? Did you do great or poorly? Do you consider last year a great year or a lousy one? Most people get it wrong by focusing too much on the future and they neglect the most important year, which was the previous year. You learn the most from history. If you want to predict the future, you will have to study the history. Unfortunately, most people put in too much of their attention into the future and

Image Credit | Steemit Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn A few decades ago, most people believed that there was a simple formula to success; the higher your IQ, the more successful you were. This turned out to be wrong. Further studies discovered numerous factors that predicted success, including willpower and emotional intelligence (EQ). These other factors are still under-emphasized to this day. Here are 10 reasons why intelligent people underperform : 1 . They Over-Analyze Intelligence actually works as a stumbling block for social interactions. The smarter you are, the more capable you are to over-prepare and over-analyze. Dumb people actually have an advantage because they aren’t even aware of the consequences. They just go in and talk to people. This lets them stay relaxed and confident, which improve their results. So how do you solve this? Take one piece of social skills advice at a time. Focus on just improving executing on it because it avoid

by Andrew Festus   Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn Life is very different for anyone who is in the top 1%. Whether you are an entrepreneur, actor, athlete, doctor, author or motivational speaker – the top 1% earn at least 10 times more than others. So for instance if you look at the highest paid actors like Dwayne Johnson or Shah Rukh Khan, they earn exponentially more than others in their fields. The same goes for JK Rowling, Richard Branson, Tony Robbins , Deepak Chopra and so many more who form the top 1% of their respective fields. This is something that has been true throughout history. The top 1% are rewarded differently – this is the reason communism failed. I luckily realized this at a very young age and immediately wanted to be in the top 1% of whatever I did. When I started selling at the age of 5, I wanted to master sales. When I wrote my first book, ‘Invest The Happionaire Way’, I wanted it to be a #1 Bestseller and when I became a motivat

Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn The documentary “Batkid Begins” may seem like a feel good story of a little boy’s sickness but it’s much more than that. It shows how anyone of us can be a superhero and restore the world’s faith in humanity. It shows that the power of good can trump any evil. Here are the 6 lessons you can learn from Batkid: 1 . He had to fight every day just like a superhero The Batkid story was made up in a way but not really. Batkid had to fight a battle greater than any event that a superhero has to go through. He had to fight a battle with leukemia, and he had no guarantee of survival. Through Batkid, we are able to see how the superhero stories are a metaphor for life. We all fight villains, and we all have extreme challenges. Batkid shows us that it’s not the challenge you face but how you overcome it. When Batkid shot into the public spotlight for a day, he stepped up. He had no idea that he was being called to a mission.

Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn We all have a burning question that we’ve held back from asking. This question has the power to shape our destiny and lead us towards something we’ve always dreamt of. Why is it then that we hold ourselves back from asking it? What is it about those words coming out of our mouth that we’re so damn afraid of? This is the question that has plagued me for the last few weeks. Like you, I too have a question that I’ve been holding back from asking. I know deep down that I must ask it yet that doesn’t make it any easier. Taking the plunge into uncertainty takes courage , and as much as we all think we have the strength to do so when it comes to crunch time, we magically get distracted. Stop delaying. Here are the 7 reasons why you should ask that one question right now: 1 . There may be no tomorrow You have the opportunity to ask that burning question today. You may not have the chance to do so tomorrow. If your question i
