Mental Toughness Video Blog From Steve Siebold
For 26 years I’ve been interviewing some of the greatest performers in the world of business. Today I’m interviewing a 24-year old sales superstar who earned a 6-figure income his first year after graduating from college, in the middle of a recession! Watch this short video as Elliot Saltzman of St. Paul, Minnesota talks about the mental toughness it takes to earn a 6-figure income going door to door selling roofs.

I love New Yorkers. They’re straightforward and they tell it like it is. As a speaker, I always know where I stand with a NY audience. In this short video post, I explore the New York mentality as it relates to mental toughness. Watch this clip and decide if you are New York tough! [media id=38 width=340 height=240]
At speeches and book signings, I’m often asked if a person’s level of physical fitness has an impact on their level of thinking? Of course the answer is yes, and much more than most people might believe. Getting fit is a non-linear wealth building strategy. After interviewing fit people for 6 years in preparation for my 2009 best-selling book, Die Fat or Get Tough, one of the most common things among them was their belief that their physical fitness had a massive impact on their business success. Many of these people were self-made millionaires who used the discipline they developed in
Back in 1996, I got a late night phone call from Bob Proctor, the professional speaking legend and co-star of the hit movie, The Secret. This was the single craziest phone call I had ever had, and it turned out to be one of the most important. Bob’s advice was so outrageous it almost seemed funny. I followed it out of respect for Bob, not knowing it would catapult my consciousness and forever alter the way I approached my career. Watch this short video from my TV show, Mental Toughness with Steve Siebold, as I share this story. I hope it
Of all the mental toughness strategies I’ve learned and taught over the past 26 years, this is one of my all-time favorites. The millionaires I’ve interviewed all agree on one thing: world-class success requires world-class focus, to the point where your goal becomes a healthy obsession you think about 24/7. This post is a personal example of how my wife and I used a classic mental toughness strategy to make a dream come true. We’ve used this strategy to generate millions of dollars over the past few years, and I have to admit that I’m still in awe of the idea
I just spoke at the convention for Deaf business owners, and I kept asking myself the same critical thinking question: What’s my excuse? These people are deaf and they’re building empires! These amazing people define what mental toughness is all about, and I think we can all learn from them. Watch this short video and see what you think. I’ll look forward to your comments.

I took a short break from my 5-city speaking tour to visit Alcatraz Island, the famous prison in San Francisco Bay. Alcatraz closed in 1963, but I was able to interview one of the last surviving inmates of the prison, who just happened to be there promoting his book. No kidding. Talk about about a tough guy! He was at least 80 years old, but still spoke like a gangster in an Al Capone movie. He talked about how the inmates would look out from the prison across bay and see the bright lights and big city of San Francisco. They
Passionate people are among the most powerful on earth. They are great salespeople, entrepreneurs and philanthropists. But the truth is most people don’t know how to separate logic from emotion, or how to use each to their benefit. The result is left brain, logic-based thinkers tend to minimize the power of emotion; while right brain, emotion-based thinkers tend to overuse emotion and blend it into every decision they make. Both personality types are one-sided and relegated to middle-class thinking and decision making. I’ve spent the last 14 years teaching Fortune 500 sales teams how to use emotion for motivation and logic
My research has led me to the conclude that the foundation of world-class success is a world-class belief system. Very few people have been exposed to world-class beliefs, but in this 5-minute segment of my national television show, Mental Toughness with Steve Siebold, I discuss the beliefs I uncovered over a 26-year period interviewing some of the world’s most successful people. I also talk about how to teach these beliefs to your kids. Steve Siebold ( 4:57 ) [media id=31]
Dr. Jack Kevorkian assisted over 130 people terminally ill patients in ending their lives, and served 8 years in prison as his compensation. “Dr. Death” as some people call him, got of of prison in 2007 and is the subject of a new HBO movie called; You Don’t Know Jack, starring Al Pacino. This is a movie every critical thinker should see, because it raises a fundamental question: “Do we have the right to end of own lives?” The U.S. government says no. Watch this short post and see what you think. I’ll look forward to your comments and another spirited
