I just heard a speech by Commander Wiz Withers where he talked about the true meaning of patriotism. This guys great-great-great-great grandfather fought alongside George Washington in the American Revolution. Another relative fought in the Civil War. His brother defended America in Vietnam, and Wiz Withers himself fought in the Gulf War. This family has paid more than it’s share of the price for the freedom we Americans enjoy, and that’s why I was so excited to hear his speech. In Mental Toughness Training, we talk alot about Middle Class Thinking versus World Class Thinking, and every American I know has strong opinions

I recently interviewed one of the top sled dog racing champions in the world on a glacier near Skagway, Alaska. Like a lot of people who are champions in their field but struggling financially, this guy is much closer to massive success then he realizes. He’s been listening to middle-class thinkers for years telling him to grow up and get a real job, and it’s been torturing him. My advice was different. Listen to this post and see if you agree with what I told him. I’d love to hear YOUR opinion on this key aspect of world-class success and happiness. (4:21 )

I’ve used this mental toughness coaching technique since the 1980’s, and it helped me become one of the highest paid coaches in the Fortune 500. In this post I address the reason most coaches fail to empower their charges, as well as how to fix the problem in less than 2 minutes. Every life coach, sports coach and business coach should steal this technique immediately. My other recomendation in this post is a world-class resource called The Success Training Network. My show is called Mental Toughness with Steve Siebold, which just won the 2007 Telly Award for Most Outstanding Motivational Talk Show.

Every world-class performer I’ve interviewed in the past 23 years was able to indentify his or her white moment. Some of them traced their entire fortune back to using their white moment to drive them when all else failed. Many of them told me their white moment rescued them during the darkest days of their lives. I was exposed to this concept in 1987, and it kept me laser focused for years. I challenge you to listen to this post and share YOUR white moment in the comments section.  (3:58)
