The Power of a Mental Toughness Mentor Team and The Bill Gove/Steve Siebold Story

The only thing standing between you and your ultimate vision is the help and support of enough powerful people. Middle class thinkers believe in the self made man/woman theory. World class thinkers believe in learning from mentors. Mental toughness is about critical thinking and being smart. Consider building a mentor team of powerful people who can make your dream come true. 12 years ago I had a dream to take my mental toughness message to the world as a professional speaker, but I didn’t have a clue how to do it. A chance meeting with a great mentor led to a team of

Mental Toughness Role Model: Paris Hilton

Associated Press reported today that Paris Hilton say’s she’s a role model to young girls and women everywhere. She claims to be a self made woman who built her own empire. This is yet another example of self-delusion rooted in middle-class thinking. Hilton is an intelligent woman with the best (formal) eduation a billioniare can buy, yet she honestly believes she’s a self made role model. I’m not sure if it’s the time she did in prison or the sex tape that pushed her over the edge, but this is a case study in delusional thinking. The cornerstone of mental toughness

Coaching Mental Toughness with Colleagues, Co-Workers and Kids

One of the most common questions I get as a professional speaker is; ‘How do you coach   mental toughness?’ Two years ago I decided to reveal the mental toughness coaching system I’ve sold to many of the biggest companies in the world. Other Mental toughness coaches are calling me crazy for putting this process on paper, but I consider it my contribution to a field of study thats been very good to me. The book is called, Coaching 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class, by Steve Siebold. I know what you’re thinking, “what a creative title!” I know, I know. But the reason we

The Conspiracy Theory of the World Class

I was being interviewed on the radio recently about my book, 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World Class, (which has now sold over the 100,000 copies) and the D.J. asked me a great question: He said: “In 24 years of  interviews with world class performers, what have you indentified as their “overriding, umbrella world-class belief?” It’s a great question I hear often at Mental Toughness University and Mental Toughness College. I call it “The Conspiracy Theory”. This is one of the most important beliefs anyone can develop. I’ll look forward to your comments.  Steve Siebold ( 4:39 )

How Ego Driven leaders in the Church, Washington, Wall Street and the Media Control and Manipulate the Masses

I just returned from another speaking tour around the country talking to audiences full of Fortune 500 sales teams during the day, while following the fear driven media coverage of the last 2 weeks events at night. I need mental toughness just to watch it! It seems that the ego driven upper class leaders are up to their favorite trick: attempting to manipulate the thinking of the masses through the use of their favorite weapon: FEAR. Whether it’s the church giving us 7 more deadly sins that will send us straight to hell or the barons of Wall Street driving the big board up

The Mental Toughness Lesson Steve Siebold learned from Millioniares

Parade Magazine ran a story last week called ‘What I did with my first Million’. Several movie stars were interviewed about what they bought with their first taste of big money. What I (Steve Siebold) learned from 24 years of interviewing world class performers is the heart of why it’s so important for all of us to make a million, but it has nothing to do with how you spend it. This is one of the most signifcant mental toughess lessons I ever learned about the mind/money connection. (as my friend Bob Proctor calls it) 

The Middle-Class Mauling of Oprah’s TV Show, The Big Give

Mental Toughness training fans from around the world should be watching the abuse Oprah Winfrey is taking in the media about her new TV show, the Big Give. USA Today and Fox news are just two examples in the last 24 hours. While the world’s richest woman attempts to help people in need, the media (which caters to middle class thinkers, because they represent the majority of the population) is slamming her for capitalizing on the concept. This is CLASSIC middle class thinking rooted in fear and scarcity. This type of reporting is why so many of us grow up with limiting

Professional Tennis Champion James Blake gives the world a lesson in mental toughness the masses don’t understand

I attended the final match of the International Tennis Championship in Delray Beach, Florida, last sunday, where 18 year old qualifier Kei Nishikori from Japan upset James Blake, the 12th ranked player in the world. Blake gave the crowd a lesson in world class mental toughness, yet the the lesson seemed lost on most. The Palm Beach Post ran the story of the match the next day scolding Blake for not being more emotional. This is another classic example of how the masses don’t understand mental toughness and world class thinking. The message sent to thousands of teenage athletes was getting angry

The Mental Toughness lesson Eddie Van Halen taught me last night

I had an opportunity to see Eddie Van Halen last night in Fort Lauderdale, and I walked away with a mental toughness secret we should all be reminded of. Consider this lesson through the eyes of objective reality and see if you pass the test. keep in mind as you listen to this post that delusional thinking is the enemy of world class success. ( 5: 25 )
