Mental Toughness and Forgiveness

By Steve Siebold

Forgiveness requires mental toughness. We’ve all been lied to or cheated by someone we care about. While forgiveness is no panacea, it ranks among the most prudent strategies you can employ to create peace of mind in your life. In this episode of my national television show, Mental Toughness with Steve Siebold, I explore some of the benefits of letting go of anger and releasing the mental energy holding a grudge requires. As we all know, forgiveness is easy to say and hard to do. I don’t dispute that or claim that forgiveness is the answer to every broken relationship. I

World’s Toughest Businesspeople

By Steve Siebold

I’ve addressed hundreds of thousands of sales people in speeches over the past 14 years, and the most common question I get is: which group of businesspeople is the most mentally tough? For 14 years, I’ve politely declined to answer the question…until today. There’s one profession that stands above the rest when it comes to mental toughness. These people take more mental and emotional abuse than all others put together, yet they continue driving forward toward their goals and dreams. Many of them start out with nothing but a big dream in their heart and the mental toughness to do whatever

Mental Toughness and NonLinear Thinking

By Steve Siebold

While all of us were trained in school to think in logical, linear terms, we all know nonlinear thinking is the real secret to complex problem solving. The wealthy use it to get richer; politicians use it to get elected, and world-class thinkers use it to get what they want. Training your mind to create nonlinear solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems is one of the most challenging aspects of the mental toughness process. It’s also one of the most valuable and profitable. This single skill made a multimillionaire at a fairly young age, and it’s something anyone can learn. Watch this

Siebold’s European Speaking Tour

By Steve Siebold

On a recent speaking tour in Europe, I was interviewed on the BBC five times in one week. Some of my comments regarding Prime Minister Gordon Brown ended up on the front page of the Daily Mirror Newspaper. The British press was wild, but fair. This short video post, taped outside the All England Tennis Club in London, is about identifying your world-class dream. Please share your world-class dream with the Mental Toughness Blog Community after you watch this post.   Steve Siebold [media id=19]

Larry Wilson: Pioneer of Personal Growth

By Steve Siebold

In 1959 Larry Wilson was a 29-year old hotshot in the life insurance industry, becoming the youngest member of the Million-Dollar Round Table. That same year Larry spotted a used book on a table outside of a bookstore. The book was by Dr. Abraham Maslow, the father of humanistic psychology and the creator of the famous Hierarchy of Needs. Larry read the book and was so fascinated with Maslow’s philosophy that he contacted him at Brandeis University. Dr. Maslow invited Larry to visit him, and the day they spent together inspired Larry to start Wilson Learning  in 1960, which eventually become

This is a television interview I did recently in Sydney, Australia, via satellite from the NBC affiliate in Atlanta. This is one of the most popular shows in Australia. As you can see, no matter how serious the topic, the Aussies always like to have a good time. I’ve done several speaking tours in Australia over the years, and they are among my favorite audiences in the world.    Steve Siebold  (4:30) [media id=16]

Steve Siebold in Amsterdam: Where are the fat people?

By Steve Siebold

I was giving a speech in Amsterdam, and was shocked to see how few fat people there were. As you know, Amsterdam is famous for several things, including being known as the bicycle riding capital of the world. No wonder these people are so fit, no one seems to own a car! They ride their bikes to work all year long. I was so blown away by the lack of obesity that I took a video camera out in the middle of Dam Square searching for fat people, and I couldn’t find any! Amazing. 66% of Americans are overweight or obese.

Death Threats: Logic vs. Emotion

By Steve Siebold

Thanks to everyone who commented on the Obama-Care Disaster post, especially to Mike Michelozzi and Jane Barr, who really dug into this post with their opinions and ideas. Five major newspapers called me for interviews within 14 hours of this post, and I appreciate the Canadian and U.S. press for their continued support of this blog. Just hours after President Obama signed the health care bill into Law, several congressman have received death threats. These events occur when people allow their emotions to cloud their judgment. Mentally tough performers use emotion to create passion, but never allow their passion, no matter
