Mental Toughness and Compartmentalization

By Steve Siebold

Emotional compartmentalization is one of the most important psychological coping skills you can possess. Compartmentalization is the ability to segment your thoughts and emotions into air tight psychological boxes for the purpose of being able to direct your mental energy towards the task at hand, without interference. This is not something with which you are born; it’s something you learn. It’s a skill that requires practice and discipline, but once built, will serve you your entire life, both personally and professionally. Compartmentalization is a major component of mental toughness training that’s rarely discussed outside of professional sports. In this episode of

Building World-Class Wealth

By Steve Siebold

When you’ve been indoctrinated into a consumption-based mindset by slick advertisers, it’s difficult to become wealthy. No matter how much money you earn, there’s never enough left to save and invest. I further define wealthy as more money than you need, affording you the opportunity to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want, without ever having to answer to anyone else for the rest of your life. Sadly, only a tiny percentage of people will ever experience this level of financial freedom, partially due to the never-ending barrage of social and

The Power of Emotional Motivation

By Steve Siebold

Most performance experts agree that emotional motivation is the most powerful form of energy. This is the mother risking her life to save her child. It’s the entrepreneur putting everything on the line to achieve his or her dream. It’s the man or woman who enlists in the military who is willing to die for his or her country. The old adage is true: emotion motivates and logic steers. The sad truth is that most of us are simply going through the motions of logic-based motivation, attempting to eek out a living while similtaneously rotting away from the inside out. The

The Power of Negative Thinking

By Steve Siebold

Back the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale popularized the phrase, The Power of Positive Thinking. It was later the title of his best selling book, which sold over 15 million copies and started an international movement. Dr. Peale was correct: positive thinking is a powerful concept. What’s often left out of the positive thinking discussion is the inverse, which is the power of negative thinking. Positive thinking will make you happy and successful. Negative thinking will save your life. They’re both powerful. In this episode of the Mental Toughness Podcast, we dissect this concept and make the argument

The Most Misunderstood Strategy in Performance Psychology

By Steve Siebold

The field of Performance Psychology has come a long way since its inception in the 1970’s. As a national junior tennis player, I was involved in this process from the beginning. It had an immediate impact on my performance, and gave me a level of peace of mind off the court that I had never experienced before. Over the past 50 years, the field has evolved and is widely considered a standard aspect of modern-day athletic training in the world of Olympic and Professional Sports. Big business has been slower to adopt this mental toughness/high performance training, but some of the

World-Class Wealth Begins with World-Class Thinking

By Steve Siebold

One of the most important aspects of success coaching is helping people understand the mindset of the self-made rich. An excess of money may not make you any happier, but being financially independent allows you to control your own life and live on your own terms. Sadly, only a small percentage of people ever experience the freedom of financial independence, even in the wealthiest countries in the world. It’s not taught in schools and only those who achieve it seem to understand it. In this video, I discuss chapter two of my book, 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World-Class, and

Think for Yourself

By Steve Siebold

Many years ago, as an author, I promised myself that once I became financially independent, I would write the book I always wanted to write, regardless of the clients I might lose or the hate mail I might receive. in 2012, I fulfilled this promise, and as expected, the junvenile mentality of the masses led thousands of my fans to threaten, scold and abandon me and my books. The book I wrote; Sex Politics and Religion: How Delusional Thinking is Destroying America, received tons of press, yet produced lackuster sales. I wasn’t surprised, and I didn’t care. I had studied the

Do You Think Like a Millionaire?

By Steve Siebold

As cheesy as this question might sound, it shouldn’t be discounted. Non-linear, millionaire thinking is a serious process that creates significant results. And it’s not just about money; it’s about getting what you want out of life in an expedited fashion. In 2010, I wrote a book called How Rich People Think, which was based on over 1,000 interviews with self-made millionaires and billionaires conducted face-to-face since 1984. The concepts in this book serve as a roadmap to success. These ideas aren’t taught in school. To the contrary, they are often discredited among academics who don’t understand them. The proof is

Whose Rules Are You Living By?

By Steve Siebold

Are you living by someone else’s rules or by your own? How about the Golden Rule? How about religious doctrine? Do you believe there is an objective morality? Or is morality subjective? The rules we choose to live by determines our moral compass, which determines (hopefully) our behavior. I’ve spoken about this all over the world in the press, and it tends to ignite both passion and anger. The battle to control mankind through the systematic brainwashing of an objective moral code has been going on since the beginning of time, and the sad fact is that the masses are easy
