For the last few days I’ve been sharing with you my thoughts on how you can step up and win at the things that mean something to you. Here’s a quick run-down:
1. Name Your Game: Figure out what’s important and make a choice to honour it – that’s not a choice if you want real confidence and real success.
2. Learn How to Play: Learn how the play the game and “successinate” – that’s how you become a great player.
3. Use What You’ve Got: You’re hardwired to be brilliant at stuff – so get in there and use it all.
4. Set Things up to Win: Set things up so they help you instead of getting in your way and tripping you up.
5. Mind Your Head: Watch what you say to yourself and stop talking yourself down – otherwise you’ll be holding yourself back.
6. Feed Yourself: You gotta make sure you’re feeding your head, heart and body. If you don’t you’ll never be at your best.
7. Jump in with Both Feet: Participate in your life, feel like you’re wringing out every drop and feel free to do the crazy thing.
This is it folks – this is what’s behind the curtain and it’s the basis for how I work with people.
It’s what I’ve seen get results in my own life (in more ways than I know) and it’s the structure behind all the coaching I do (and for my Truly Confident Living Course) — and you know what – it bloody well works!
I’d love to know your thoughts — which strategies you think you’re neglecting, which ones are rocking your world and — perhaps most importantly — if you’ve made any decisions…

I lived through the “Savings and Loan Crisis” of the 1980s without missing a day of work, and I worked for one of the banks in SF that was taken over by the feds. My mother survived the depression, along with the rest of her family. So what is it exactly we are afraid of? Consuming less is better for the planet, and job trends shift to push employment in another direction. As long as you have family and friends, you can make it through anything.

@Redhead: That’s some tough times right there. Loving how you boil it down to family and friends, which form a huge piece of your environment, but it’s pretty clear you also have a fantastic attitude and recognise the stuff that matters.
