Mental Toughness Video Blog From Steve Siebold
Several years ago YouTube master Evan Carmichael created a montage of a few of my speeches, TV interviews and Award-winning TV show on The Success Training Network and called it “Siebold’s 10 Rules of Success” I ran across it again recently and thought I would share it with you. Back in the day, I had more hair and less pounds, but the message has always been the same. #mentaltoughness #personaldevelopment #evancarmichael
After coaching mental toughness to professional athletes, olympic athletes, entrepreneurs and over 100,000 salespeople around the world over 30 years, one coaching strategy stands head and shoulders above the rest. It’s the primary difference between average coaches and the best in the world. This is why most coaches earn under $100K per year while the best earn millions. It requires some skill, tanacity and a boat-load of patience. That said, anyone who learns the techniques and practices can master this strategy. This video explains.

Positive Thinking can be a wonderful thing, but it can also be dangerous. The world is both a beautiful and brutal place, and you can say they same thing about life. It’s a dichotomy with which we all must cope. For the past 25 years I’ve been traveling across the country and around the world teaching Mental Toughness and Critical Thinking to Fortune 500 sales teams, and this is one of the least popular, yet most pragmatic lessons. This video tells the story of a recent speech I delivered in Lisbon, Portugal, at Ingersol-Rands European National Convention. #criticalthinking #positivethinking #personaldevelopment #mentaltoughness
Mental Toughness is the ability to control your emotions, especially under pressure, so when I got booked to speak for one of the bar associations biggest chapters, I thought I was in the right place. After all, Trial Lawyers are known to be tough, logic-based critical thinkers. I knew I had to bring my A game to make an impact, but what I didn’t expect was to see them crumble under the weight of a single question. One innocent, carefully crafted question reduced them to rubble. The lesson I was trying to teach them was to employ logic-based critical thinking in
In Mental Toughness Training, we make the distinction between Truth and Fact. Truth is subjective, Fact is objective. I’ve been accused of making this a semantical agrument, yet it’s more profound. The United States is in a battle for its very existence due to the lack of understanding in this area, and while it’s easy to blame one political party over the other, the fact is it’s the extremists on both sides of the aisle that pose the dire threat. We’ve been teaching this concept to the world’s largest sales teams for 25 years, and once they understand it, performance soars.
Learning to forgive yourself is one of the most difficult mental toughness lessons. We tend to forgive others for their past mistakes and transgressions, yet when it comes to forgiving ourselves, many of us refuse to let go. The problem with storing anger is the space it takes up and the mental energy it consumes. The fastest path to personal development and mental toughness is learning to let go. We’re only human, and we are capable of making both brilliant and stupid decisions. Watch this short video and I’ll look forward to your comments. #mentaltoughness #critcalthinking #personaldevelopment
Socrates was the original philosopher credited with saying; “all things in moderation”. The Bible has a similar reference. This age-old adage has been passed down through millennia. It’s arguably the most useful piece of advice for happiness ever conceived. Extreme behavior is often the way we mask feelings of inferiority, and it rarely has the effect we’re seeking. The United States is known around the first world as being “success obsessed”, and I think thats a fair criticism. (or compliment?) There’s no denying that our obsession has lead to innovation, invention and prosperity. The evidence supports the claim. But, has this
If you’re feeling down, this video may not make you feel better. This post deals with the most brutal reality that every successful person must face. It’s not pretty, yet it’s undeniably true. The good news is once you learn to accept it, your life will be forever changed. As the saying goes, the truth will set you free. So if you think you can handle the truth, watch this video. #mentaltoughness #personaldevelopment #publicspeaking #ipdar
Many of the speakers with whom I’ve worked over the past 25 years at national and international conventions are suck-ups. They’re good speakers with bad strategy, which is why many of them struggle. Corporations hire smart people that speak, and they’re looking for unique solutions to pressing problems. What they don’t need is a speaker telling their teams how great they are when most of them are underperforming. To be relevant as a thought leader, you need do your research and tell them the truth. That’s how you stay in companies for years and score million-dollar, multi-year contracts. Watch this video
He was the protege of Dr. Abraham Maslow, and he’s widely considered one of the most influential figures in the history of personal development. Larry Wilson was a true genius, and I was lucky enough to call him my mentor and close friend for the last 15 years of his life. His company, Wilson Learning has offices in 80 countries around the world. In 2007, I interviewed Larry in front of a packed house of 2,000 people in Mexico City, and it was game changer for so many of us. This is a MUST-SEE interview, which you can access for free
