Dedication and Personal Success


Achieving peak personal performance and creating personal power begins with a mental strength mindset and empowering beliefs.  Reaching your personal goals starts in the mind and finishes with peak performance…taking massive action.
This is one in a series of mental strength life coaching tips to help start your week off strong so that you can reach your personal goals and personal success.
I take one subject and run though a brief overview of it, then ask some very direct questions.  The intention of this virtual ‘life coaching’ session is for you to write the questions in your success journal and then reflect on them and write your answers and thoughts in your journal.
These series of posts are for YOU!  If I’m not able to coach you personally one-on-one, or over the phone, I want you to at least get the benefit of a “virtual” mental strength coaching session.
Objective of this Mental Strength Tip:
To see where you stand and how dedicated you are to your field or work and your profession. To find out how much you rally believe in what you’re doing, and are you using your dedication to influence others.
Let’s Get Started:
This virtual coaching session is getting to your level of dedication in your profession and your industry.  They are two separate entities.  Your profession is what you do and your industry is where you do it, i.e. your profession is sales, the industry is high-tech.
So as we go through this virtual life coaching session try to  feel for how much you believe in:
1. Your profession
2. The industry you’re in
And the positive impact both have on your clients and customers.
Questions to Uncover Beliefs about Mental Strength Thinking:
  • How important is the level of dedication to your success in your career?
  • What role do you believe dedication plays in your personal success?
  • How does a person develop a deeper level of dedication?
Unsupportive Beliefs about Dedication
  • Strong dedication is for ministers and sales professionals.
  • You’re either dedicated to something, or your not.
  • If I take a stand on something, people won’t like me.
Mental Strength Beliefs about Dedication
  • Deep dedication can be developed.
  • All leaders hold a strong sense of dedication.
  • Dedication is what empowers people to take action and reach their personal goals
Outrageous Questions:
  • What do your results in business and life reflect about your level of dedication?
  • How dedicated are you in the profession and industry you’re on right now?
  • Do your colleague’s or customers see you as a leader with dedication?
Reflective Questions:
  • On a scale of 1-9, 9 being the strongest, how would you rate your level of dedication toward the product of service you are representing?
  • What career would create a stronger sense of dedication for you?
  • How can you increaser your level of dedication in your current role?
Mental Strength Coaching:
Remember that most people don’t hold a very strong sense of dedication about anything, including their life’s work.  The masses are encouraged not to get too excited about anything for fear they will be disappointed. Talking about dedication is often not a new subject for most people, as it flies in the face of what they been conditioned to believe.
Dedication comes naturally in some cases, but can also be developed through mental strength training.  Strong dedication has the power to alter a person’s beliefs and behavior.
My job as your virtual life coach, is to make sure you understand how important a deep dedication is toward your personal success, how to develop more of it and how to use it as tool of ‘influence’ to reach you personal goals.
Final Thought
Coaching around and understanding the power of dedication has the power to catapult you into peak personal performance.  Dedication can be coached…and dedication can be built, the question is….are you ready?
