A Year on Performance and Mindset Evolution

What do you think if you hear about a year on Performance and Mindset? For me it has been a celebration of both Entrepreneurial Magic and Personal Success!

Join me as we celebrate a full year with or radio show ‘Performing at Your Best: Mindset Evolution with Luis Vicente Garcia’. We had an incredible year filled with amazing concepts, new themes, inspiring notes and fabulous interviews: Joan Detz, Margaret Maclay, Steve Olds, Marc Koehler, Bob Burg, Hans Trupp, Michelle Poler, you name it. We talked about business ideas and fear; emotional intelligence and franchises; business expertise alongside purpose and vision; and we talked about the Sustainable Development Goals issued by the United Nations. We focused on improving and changing your mindset in order to increase your performance.

Join me in this one hour show as we review our first year on Performance and Mindset. Click HERE to LISTEN!

When we talk about Business or entrepreneurial success, we might not be really sure what it is or how to define it; and this will prove to be critical. You need to know where you are today and where you are going; then, figure out your plan to get there.

Whether you have been in business for years or you are a start-up, things look harder and more difficult than what you originally thought, take more time and might have a bigger cost than planned. Your three main resources: time, team and money will be tested over and over again. What you need to do here is to understand what makes you apart, what is important for you and your company and how can you start redirecting some of the approaches and ideas you have been using in the past.

This actually is the number one critical issue for all people and companies that do need to change: adapt and be flexible. This implies realizing the need to adapt to the changing business environments, looking at the trends in the market and your industry, while improving some of the important areas (if not all) in your company.

When you do it, something starts to happen and suddenly there is a better flow of energy, new ideas start to flourish, a more dynamic team takes action, goals are reached and visions are aligned. In all, you, your staff, team members and your company start talking about success and what it would mean to be successful (and yes we know we all measure Success in a different way).

Over the course of the year from June 2015 to May 2016 we had an incredible team that helped us reach thousands of listeners form all over the world; we invited amazing guests, talked about important business issues and development tools. And most importantly, we talked about you, your teams, your companies and how you can improve your performance while changing your mindset.

In this hour-long show we will review the best highlights from an amazing year so please join us as we review our first year on Performance and Mindset!

-       How is your farming system and are you constantly training them to reach new levels of performance?

There are many important questions that every leader and manager need to answer in order to achieve your organization’s goals and many of them are related to TEAM PERFORMANCE. 

As a leader, you need to understand the importance of creating a team that is aligned, works to achieve excellence and that is committed to achieving the results you have created for your company. This happens at sports teams at every level; it happens with companies all over the world.

Escape from Your Fears! A conversation with Michelle Poler

When you decide to start an important quest, there will certainly be many questions on your head. Could I do it? Will I fail? Will I succeed? Am I able to? How will I?

When I met Michelle Poler after her TEDx Talk at the University of Houston, TX, she had already embarked on what became her life project: Facing her Fears. And for her it has been transformational.

How many fears do you have? Do you know? Are you doing something about them?

Some may be fear of failing, being rejected or not achieving, fear of not doing things right and so many others. If you constantly think that way, you will never do many of the things you want to do and achieve.

So, if you are determined to start, learn from your failures, face your fears, and finish strong you really have to get rid of your fears, even the simpler ones. This is what Michelle has taught us: you can Escape from Your Fears. As many have found, you can be afraid even of starting and taking action.

Performance is about Action, decisiveness, being fearless. This is what we talked about in this wonderful show, one which I called 'the fearless show' and during which Michelle told us how she even started, how to understand your fears and start to face and confront them.

Click here and Join me in this incredible interview with Michelle Poler as she teaches to us about her 100 days of Fear, her new ideas and how she decided to take Action! 

Click here and Join in the Conversation!

For Michelle, that new idea turned '100 days without fear' into her new project "HELLO FEARS" that you can visit at: Hello Fears 

About Michelle Poler: originally from Caracas, Venezuela, is a graduate from the School of Visual Arts holding a master's degree in Branding. A few months ago, she quit her job as an Art Director to develop what started as a school project and turned into a life-changing experience.

Earlier this year, Michelle decided to face all of her fears and record herself for her project 100 Days Without Fear. She planned to become a braver person by the end of the 100 days, what she didn’t plan was to inspire millions along the way.

Please visit Michelle's links at: Hello fears FB page and Michelle's  Hello Fears YouTube page


And as always, have an excellent and a very successful week!

‘Performing at Your Best: Mindset Evolution’: Celebrating Show #50

"Success is waking up in the morning and bounding out of bed because there's something out there that you love to do, that you believe in, that you're good at - something that's bigger than you are, and you can hardly 

wait to get at it again." 

-- Whit Hobbs

With this beautiful quote I received this morning from a dear friend, I wake up to what will be an amazing day (as most are and should be). Today we are celebrating an incredible day as my radio show Performing at Your Best: Mindset Evolution on VoiceAmerica Business is reaching its first big milestone: I will be LIVE at 6 pm EDT this afternoon to celebrate our show #50.

It has been an incredible journey as I had never been a radio host before and one that I have truly enjoyed; particularly learning about new subjects on performance and mindset, and learning how to interview amazing people - my guests - who have been an integral part of our success. We are now listened to in 6 continents and over 70 countries, which shows all of us that our messages are needed and welcome and as such I would like to give a huge thanks to all of my listeners who week after week join us live or on demand to find out new ideas and insights that will allow them to grow and learn.

CHANGE has a positive impact on your Performance!

As we learn about how to improve our Performance we need to understand that learning about CHANGE is a critical and key ingredient for Success. 

We know that change happens!

I happens when we alter the form or nature of something; I will add, change happens when we alter the self-concept of someone as well. 

Basically, "Change" is always present in everything we do, whether it is in or personal or professional lives. It affects our society, our families and the companies we work and interact with. It affects technology, education and science. In summary, Change affects us all.

As George Bernard Shaw said:

“Progress is impossible without change, 

and those who cannot change their minds 

cannot change anything.” 

This is why understanding that change can have positive and everlasting implications in growth, evolution and transformation is extremely important in today’s world, as we all need the importance of a probably new concept: that we need to constantly be changing and adapting to the current market place.

Join me in this episode as we see the concepts of performance and mindset from the perspective of becoming a change leader; to listen to our show: Click HERE!.

And continue improving your Performance and Your Success!

Uplift Your Motivation

Motivation has been defined as the “act or instance of motivating or providing a reason to act in a certain way or to accomplish something”. 

So as a verb, it activates “action”.

Motivation is a key ingredient for success and we must understand that everything we do and dare to do, allow us to move forward no matter what happens to us, to fight adversity and to continue building and working to create our better future.

Being motivated is already a challenge by itself. This for you means: stay motivated every day to motivate and inspire others does matter.

As Coach Pat Railey once said: “a champion needs a motivation above and beyond winning.”

I would add, we all need motivation above all.

Join me as we start understanding the importance of motivation for today’s challenges and opportunities.

Always use words such as: Motivation, Optimism, Positive Attitude, Performance, Luis Vicente Garcia, Success, opportunities, future

The Martial Art of Business

Business is an art that requires discipline, persistence and skills. 

One of the main ideas we need to learn is that we need to increase our determination and self-motivation in order to achieve peak performance.

Martial arts are systems and traditions of combat practices, which are practiced for a variety of reasons: self-defense, competition, physical health and fitness, entertainment, as well as mental, physical, and spiritual development.

In this episode of 'Performing at Your Best: Mindset Evolution' I had the opportunity of interviewing Winston Price, not only a master martial arts artist and personal trainer but also the Executive Producer of my radio show at VoiceAmerica. 

Winston brings together the intense discipline he has learned through the Martial Arts with the skills he has learned in business where he inspires, motivates and helps maximize the opportunities of the people he coaches.

Winston runs his own school, Internal Magnification Martial Arts, where he focuses on helping people reach their personal goals of health and fitness via At-Home personal training with martial foci of Taekwondo, Tai Chi Ch’uan, Hapkido and Ba Gua Zhang.

Welcome to a Memorable 2016!

Welcome to 2016!

This new year can be a magnificent year, it can be an incredible year where you can start writing your own stories, prepare a new plan and work on your goals in order to achieve them. 

A new year is a wonderful opportunity to create everything we want for ourselves, our teams, our companies. And as I have heard Brian Tracy saying so many times, this is a wonderful moment to be alive and be in business.

A new year is a blank page for you to fill out; the new pages of brand a new book in your life, in the history of your company. 

As we start this New Year, let’s imagine the impossible, let’s imagine what we can achieve everything our minds can conceive. We all have our resources: time, team, financial and our strategies. How we take action and how we can implement all we need to do will require effort, dedication and determination.

A new concept for me in management is one that I call Dynamic Management. It will allow you to create your new plan, your new positive habits and design your new blueprint for a magnificent and a memorable 2016! If you want to learn how to start implementing the new aero.dynamic Management in your lifa and your company please write to me at coachluis@luisvicentegarcia.com

And Listen HERE to start creating a Memorable 2016 as you increase your performance levels and start on the path to your imminent success in 2016.

Cheers!

Reassessing your Performance on 2015!

When O had the chance to my live show only three days before the new year, I decided to help everyone do a review of the year as it came to an end. In our FocalPoint Coaching term we call it: Stop and Reassess.

So we entered the final week of the year and as always, it was extremely important that we all see where we were and what we achieved during the year, understand what worked and what can be improved. And best of all, to start with more strength and energy the new year.

If we evaluate what we did we can be assured we can continuously improve. By doing this, we can understand everything we did to get us to the particular point in which we are today.

 

Stop and reassess is a very interesting concept that we use in our FocalPoint Coaching practice and it which allows us to review where we all are, something particularly important at the end of a year or after finishing a very important task. 

For all of us, as we ended 2015, it required evaluating what you we did, if we achieved our gals and our plans, and all the actions we implemented. Once we do this, we have a new and more clear focus of where we want to go.

Join us on this interesting program as we discuss how you can evaluate your performance this year. To listen just Click HERE!

Creating new Business Ideas

We all need to focus on creating ideas and product or service innovation. Creating an idea is one thing, generating a business idea that creates a trend is another one. 

An Idea has been defined as any conception existing in the mind as a result of mental 

understanding, awareness, or activity

Business ideas come from many areas, places and may have many forms. And there are entrepreneurs, managers, business owners who are constantly creating new ideas. The products and services we use today are just that: the result of an idea well executed ad implemented in order to generate the new products and services the market place requires.

Join me take a look into business ideas and business trends. Listen HERE.

Increase your Performance through Time Management!

We all have the same amount of time.

Some use it wisely, some invest it, and some waste or spend it.

For any person or professional that truly wants to stand out, to make a difference, to improve your performance, you need to ‘Manage your Time Effectively’.

Time is one of the few precious resources we have in a limited basis.

The better we learn to use it - and as we improve constantly - the more we can achieve. And as you start implementing new tips and ideas to better use your time, you can increase your performance, your results and have a more balanced life.

The end result? Also increase your potential!

“Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. 

That's why it's called the present.”

Bil Keane

And a simple and very useful tip: start using your agenda.
