Mental Toughness

As we move through the last quarter of 2011, consider this critical thinking question: what single skill, if you were to develop (or improve on) it before the end of the year, would make the biggest difference in your life? Answers from previous years include public speaking, better writing skills, communication, etc. Watch this short video I taped on Lake Lanier and I’ll look forward to your comments.  Steve Siebold  (2:12) [media id=176]

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Gay/Lesbian Delusion discussion. Some people expressed logic-based thoughts while others were fueled by emotion. We also witnessed some examples of emotional overwhelm. Separating logic and emotion in decision making is one the most important skills, especially in business. This is something we teach Fortune 500 executives, and even they struggle. Watch this short video and rate yourself on this critical skill.  Steve Siebold  ( 4: 19 ) [media id=175]

I want to thank everyone who weighed-in on Part 1 of the Gay/Lesbian Delusion post. What a great (and important) debate! This is simply too big to stop at one post! So here’s my response to many of the comments offered in Part 1. Watch this short video I shot in London and I’ll look forward to your comments. Special thanks to Mike Michelozzi and the many others who helped kick off this discussion. Steve Siebold (5:00) [media id=174]

This is one of the great psychological/moral delusions of our time. I’ve asked hundreds of gay people in my audiences for years whether or not they chose to be gay, and every one of them has given me the same answer. This is a very controversial subject in America, although it shouldn’t be. Watch this short video I shot in London, England this morning and I’ll look forward to your comments.

There are 1,068 critical thinking questions in the Mental Toughness University curriculum, and in terms of getting what you want out of life, this is the ultimate. If you can answer yes to this question, you’re probably headed toward a world-class existence. If not, it’s never too late to change. Watch this short video I shot in the rain forest in Lake Arenal, Costa Rica. I’ll look forward to your comments. (and thanks to everyone who weighed in with such passion on the last post from Costa Rica. Another spirited (but respectful) debate. Steve Siebold (2:12) [media id=172]

What would you love to try if fear was not an issue? What could you get excited about doing that looks really scary? On a scale of 1-7, 7 being most urgent, how strong is your sense of urgency when it comes to getting what you want while you still have a chance? Watch this short video and weigh-in with your comments. Steve Siebold (2:30) [media id=170]

Have you ever wondered what’s holding you back from succeeding in specific areas of your life? I know I have, and I found at least one solution that’s seems to work. Watch this short video and I’ll look forward to your comments. P.S. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the robust discussion on the Mormon post. I appreciate everyone’s willingness to opine.   Steve Siebold  (3:00) [media id=166]

Mitt Romney is the GOP front runner at this point in the pre-election season, but many people are questioning whether or not a Mormon can be elected to the highest office in the land. I followed Mr. Romney on a TV show last year in Boston, and he is an impressive man. The problem is America’s obsession with our leaders personal lives. Isn’t it time we elect someone based on their skills? Would Obama really be President if we did? It’s time for America to grow up emotionally on social issues and start focusing on the business of the country. Watch

How far are you willing to go to get what you want? Are you really willing to do whatever it takes? Watch this short video I shot in California at Fox News. I’ll look forward to your comments. Steve Siebold   ( 2:15 ) [media id=163]

Thanks to everyone who weighed-in on this emotional and controversial topic. So here we go again! This is my video response to your comments. I can’t wait to hear what you have to say about this!     Steve Siebold ( 3:19 ) [media id=162]
