If It Doesn’t Challenge You, It Doesn’t Change You!
Anyone who exercises regularly can tell you how true this “If It Doesn’t Challenge You, It Doesn’t Change You” quote is. Those folks know that they must go a little faster, add a little more resistance, get that extra rep and push themselves a little further to gain muscle, lose fat and increase their level of conditioning.
Conversely, they realize that if their workouts occur in their comfort zone then they will not physically progress and grow. The same is true intellectually with your own personal professional development.
In order to break through to new levels of success you must challenge yourself to be better every day. Read a great book, make that extra sales call, give extra personal care and attention to customers, commit to continuous improvement and being a true student of your profession and you will change – for the better!
Make a Great Day!

Monday Morning Motivation: Walk The Path!
Good Day All,
As all my Pinnacle Performance clients know, “Walk The Path” is one of my very favorite maxims. And for good reason…
There’s a big difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it.
A dramatic difference in results between those who think about it and those who do it.
A tremendous difference in performance between those who believe in PRIDE and those who actually practice it on a day-to-day basis.
To reach the pinnacle… Walk The Path!

The Spirit of Giving and Self-Less Customer Service
With the Christmas season upon us, most of us are in shopping mode and taking the time and effort to purchase gifts for the significant others in our lives. Invested in that spirit of giving, we put aside the focus on ourselves and concentrate on how we can provide something of value to others.
This same self-less behavior is the very essence of customer service.
Proper customer service is a self-less act. Selflessness is defined as the act of sacrificing one’s own interest for the greater good. This is what we tend to do at Christmas time and, as professional service-providers, this is precisely the attitude and conduct we should maintain on a day-to-day basis.
When we practice self-less service we put the power of reciprocity to work. Just as we feel obligated to return gifts to those that have given us one, the same is true of our customer relationships. When customers feel they have received something of value they typically return the occasion with their loyalty and possibly even their recommendation of your service to others.
So while the spirit of giving may be most evident during Christmas time, it can benefit both customers and your business performance year-round!

Nelson Mandela: Rise Above
Nelson Mandela, the revered civil rights leader, freedom-fighter and anti-apartheid icon who was detained 27 years in prison, led South Africa to democracy and became its first black president, died yesterday at home at the age of 95.
There is much we can all learn from the words and wisdom of Nelson Mandela. The image quote below is my personal favorite as it directly applies to Pinnacle Performance and success in general.
Here are more select quotes on a variety of topics from Nelson Mandela By Himself: The Authorised Book of Quotations
I hope you find inspiration from these as we honor a man who was the true pinnacle of justice and peace.
May he rest in peace.

Monday Morning Motivation: Lou Holtz Wisdom
Kicking off the week with a little Monday Morning Motivation from famed football coach, Lou Holtz.
Reverse engineering this; Without the right attitude you won’t do anything all that well. Without motivation you won’t do the things necessary to continuously improve your performance. Without the proper attitude and motivation you’ll never realize the extent of your ability and achieve what you’re capable of.
Make a Great Day!

Monday Morning Motivation: Make The Days Count
Welcome to Monday morning. A clean slate. Everyone starts this week (and every other week) same amount of time: 7 days, 168 hours, 10,080 minutes, 604,800 seconds.
High-achievers don’t waste time, they take advantage of it and set out each day with a clear purpose and goal.
Many folks count the days waiting for something good to come their way. High-achievers make the days count and work to position themselves for good things.
One thing is certain, time will pass.
What you do with it this week will determine if it was time well spent come next Sunday evening.
Make a Great Day!

Monday Morning Motivation: Don’t Wish It Were Easier…
Hi All,
Another work week is upon us… As always, it will come with it’s share of challenges and struggles.
Some folks will wish it were easier. Champion ‘Pinnacle Performers’ will be stronger and succeed.
Some folks hope things will work out. Champions plan and are prepared for when they don’t.
As personal development author and master motivational speaker, Jim Rohn, said in the follow-up to his famous quote below, “Don’t wish for less challenges; wish for more wisdom.”
Fact is, you have a world of wisdom at your disposal to effectively handle any challenge.
Make a Great Day!

With September upon us it’s time to end Summer vacation (even if only mental) and have a renewed focus on business.

Like Home Depot… You Can Do It, I Can Help.
Here’s a Pinnacle Performance image quote that says plenty to motivate and inspire you to get back to business and succeed.
Make a Great Day!
