Go For a Record!

It can be very inspiring to surround yourself with people who are consistently pushing their limits. My friend Hans Florine is one of those people. Hans is a record-holding rock climber who won gold in speed climbing three years in a row at the ESPN X-Games.

Exactly 200 days ago Hans gave me a challenge -- to join him in doing 100 sit-ups (non-stop) every day for 100 days in a row.

In the beginning, it was tough just remembering to do the sit-ups each day...let alone completing 100 non-stop. After a week it got a little easier. After a few weeks it became a habit that I actually enjoyed. Some days I'd do even more than 100. My abdomen got stronger (and tighter) and I felt great.

When we reached our 100 day goal I didn't want to stop! I recommitted to taking the same challenge on for another 100 days. Today, I am happy to report that I just completed 200 days in a row...and I don't plan on stopping. My next goal is to complete 365 days (35,600 sit-ups in a year) and I bet I'll keep it going after that.

Over the past several months I have given the challenge of going for a record to my audiences when I speak and to several of my coaching clients. Now I'm offering it to you. What record could you go for that would add to your health, wealth, wisdom or peace of mind?

Here are some examples that I've heard
over the past few months:

• Make 200 prospecting calls in 5 days
• Complete a marathon in under 4 hours
• Write for one hour a day for 100 days
• Acknowledge or compliment someone every day for a month
• Be on time for every appointment over the next 100 days

You see, there are many different ways you can go for a record. Start today and make a personal commitment to give it your best. Maybe it's some daily action to take for 100 days in a row. Maybe it's a one time record that will help you take a big step toward a business or personal goal.

Whatever you choose, ask someone to be your accountability partner and offer to be theirs. Check in on a regular basis - daily or weekly to increase your focus and commitment. And most of all…enjoy the process of pushing your limits and expanding your success.

Keep reaching high!
