The Brendon Show

"Excellence demands a little bit of edge. Excellence demands that you push beyond what’s easy, what your natural strength is, or what you could do and get away with. It’s about asking ‘What’s that next level for me?’ That’s real excellence over the long term.” If you don’t have the momentum you want in your life right now, you’re not playing the long game. Consider this:  "Playing the long game isn’t about taking what just shows up. It’s about architecting the future.” This is a MUST LISTEN episode about how to play the long game (and avoid burnout)!  Share your story with us so that we can cheer you on!

“That lens that asks the questions, ‘What meaning can I draw from this? What meaning can I give this? What’s my intention here?’ (and never breaking from those, never losing that lens): that’s what makes life magical.”  The 3-lens framework of purpose, positivity and potential are HUGE for gaining perspective. Consider this:  "Where can I find some joy in this? Where can I bring some joy in that? Where can I feel optimistic about this situation? When everyone else says there’s no hope, how can I cultivate hope? How can I be the champion with the drum? How can I be the person with the trumpet, cheering people on?"  This is a MUST LISTEN episode about how to gain deep perspective so that you can make important decisions FASTER and with full clarity.

  “If you’re stuck because of your fears, you need to give yourself permission to push into it, and to deal with it.” Is fear in control of your life? Consider this:  "Don’t avoid the fear. Don’t avoid the anxiety. Don’t avoid the trouble. They’re always going to be there. The question is, are they driving your car? The question, are they in control? The question is, are they at the wheel, or are you at the wheel? Are they captain of your ship, or are you the captain? Are you playing victim, or are you playing victor into these things? That’s the question.” This is a MUST LISTEN episode about the importance of facing your fears head-on in order to fully live the life you envision for yourself.

"You’ve got a bottomless level of potential. You have the ability to figure things out, live life on your terms, and add a level of value into the world that I can’t do, because I’m not you." Suffering from Imposter Syndrome? It's time to stop faking it, stop avoiding difficulties, start working daily goals, and start feeling the outcome of your work. Consider this:  "So much of Imposter Syndrome is analytically questioning yourself, digging a hole and doubting yourself. You're letting your own thoughts poison you instead of fuel you. Visualization and meditating on the actual outcome of your contributions can be your savior." This is a MUST listen episode about how to relieve Imposter Syndrome. Live from your authentic self as you serve the world.

"Don't be a browser. Be a researcher. Don’t be somebody who consumes information all the time from everybody. Ask yourself, ‘What do I want to learn and accomplish in my life? How do I align everything I take in in terms of what I read, watch, or listen to that will equip me for that journey better?’" What's been distracting you? When thinking about your vision and the goals you want to move toward, consider this:  "If you’re patient and persistent with that patience, then you’re moving forward. The reason we feel stuck sometimes, is because we’re so patient that we’ll sit around waiting for everything until the world drops some money, happiness or joy on us. We have to ask ourselves, 'How can I have a vision for these things and persistently work toward them?’" This is a MUST listen episode about stripping away the distractions and setting a vision for your life.

  “People really need to skill up for 2019. Determine the major skills you’re going to need to win in 2019, and start developing them NOW.” Evaluate this year (and identify areas where you have room to grow) so that you can crush NEXT year. "Too many people are disconnected: their family doesn’t know what they think, want, know and desire. The highest performing people in the world are courageous, but the way that they practice that courage is in a very simple, elegant way. They share their true thoughts, feelings, needs, desires, and requests with others more often than under-performers." This is a MUST listen episode about my biggest lessons learned (personally and professionally) of 2018.  Get your High Performance Planner (before we sell out!) at https://HighPerformancePlanner.com For more training on high performance, at a deeper and more interactive level, join us in High Performance Monthly training program.

"Relationships are like gym memberships. You can’t go in and out of the relationship every few months and hope to develop a stronger relationship. Just like you can’t go in the gym every few months and hope to get a stronger bicep and better abs. You’ve got to be in that relationship, committed, working, pushing yourself against great resistance: bitterness, anger, hurt, humility, frustration, embarrassment, guilt.” Lasting, healthy relationships require consistency and ongoing support! Consider this:  "You have to be the champion of your lover. The way to do that isn’t once in a while when they’re painted against the corner. Your job is to give daily praise to your partner." This is a MUST listen episode about the KEY to having lasting relationships with your loved ones and your partner.  Get your High Performance Planner (before we sell out!) at https://HighPerformancePlanner.com For more training on high performance, at a deeper and more interactive level, join us in High Performance Monthly training

"For the next two weeks, just start focusing on getting up to that period of 8-hour sleep. You’ll feel like a completely different human being." Sleep is essential for optimal performance. Consider this:  "If you don’t sleep well or rest well, then your cognitive performance goes way down, your task ability goes way down, your ability to multitask goes way down, your abilities to feel good, to deal with stress, to be resilient, and to have willpower all go significantly down." This is a MUST listen episode about the importance of sleep (and the impact of sleep deprivation on your life)!  Get your High Performance Planner (before we sell out!) at https://HighPerformancePlanner.com For more training on high performance, at a deeper and more interactive level, join us in High Performance Monthly training program.

  In this powerful interview with Best Self Magazine, Brendon shares insights gleaned from writing High Performance Habits, The Motivation Manifesto, and what it takes to be your BEST self.  Here's a hard-hitting excerpt on what it takes to shift perspective and change patterns:  "There is a way to imbue the day with so much feeling and meaning. You don’t need tricks and dancing bears, you need something different coming from within you first... Start first asking yourself: 'How can I make tomorrow FEEL more ‘me'? How can I bring my energy into the day?' Asking people to change situations without first changing how they interpret situations is irresponsible. So, we have to teach people how to manage the stuff within first, so that they’re actually capable of managing other situations. Otherwise, they repeat and repeat."

"Let’s make ‘improvement' our goal. Let’s make overall 'high performance' our goal. Let’s get all the cylinders of our life, all the pistons, going at full capacity and at their best levels so that we feel fully charged, energized, engaged, and enthusiastic about life." Optimal performance planning requires you to focus on your attention, emotion, and action. Consider this: "Where your attention goes, success follows. Without that, and getting a vital sense of getting that back, we can’t improve.” This is a MUST LISTEN about how to power up your performance planning to improve the main areas of your life (family, mission, relationships, career, health, spirituality)!

"If you want long term success on whatever project or dream it is that you’re after, you need 60% of your week dedicated towards that.” This is KEY to achieving your dreams:  "Whatever dream you have, you have to perfect it in MOTION."

"You’re never going to touch the full rim of your potential if you’re weighed down by baggage. The last chapters of the book: you’ve gone through them. You’ve finished them. You have to be willing to break from the past to have the future you so desperately desire." It's time to let go, to forgive, to process the past and step into the day anew, with courage. Also, consider this: "Don’t fear the day. That day’s been brought here for you. When you have real reverence for life, and when you have a deep gratitude and appreciation for life, you don’t hold onto a lot of yesterdays.” This is a MUST LISTEN episode about letting go of the baggage so that you can find more COURAGE (and live your most vibrant life).

"Renewal is a pause in all the craziness, that after whatever that pause is…you feel more present, enlivened and vibrant.” Whatever your form of renewal is (be it meditation, running, walking outside), it has the power to help you recharge, freshen up and spark ideas. Also, consider this: "If you could get more renewal each day, more renewal each week, more renewal each month, and you had practices for those, you’d just find yourself in a whole other game of mental stamina. You’d be the person in the office who had more ideas than anyone else. Where’d you get all these good ideas? It didn’t come from working more, it came from renewing more.” This is a MUST LISTEN episode about the habit of renewal (and how it impacts your long term success).   For more training just like this, at a deeper and more interactive level, join us in High Performance Monthly training program.

"Approach your life as an opportunity to grow and progress faster, and your self-perception will start to align with it. Your self-perception, your confidence, how you feel about yourself: if you can align it with real progress, you’ll feel momentum and the depth of your character.” The lens of learning, rather than judgment, will support you as you come to better understand who you are and how you want to show up in the world. Also, consider this: "You want to find the people in your life who know how to give good feedback, and you want to ask them for more of it.” This is a MUST LISTEN episode about overcoming the self-perception problem (and the best path for understanding yourself and your growth potential).  For more training just like this, at a deeper and more interactive level, join us in High Performance Monthly training program.

"Energetically, I’m going to train myself to live a life that is enthusiastic, joyous and loving." Choose the emotions you want to experience!

"If the conversation of personal development is always present in your relationship, your relationship is always getting better." Share your personal growth journey with others!

"The power plant doesn’t have energy. It generates energy. If I want aliveness, authenticity, or vulnerability in my relationships, the only way to get it is to demonstrate it more, to role model it more, to lead it more.” That's all about fostering more meaningful connections. Consider this: "If this is not your vision, if you don’t see this as part of your real contribution, and if it does not make you fully alive, then bail. Quit sooner than later. But if you know it’s right for you, then resilience is everything." This is a MUST LISTEN episode about how to master discipline, connection and resilience.  For more training just like this, at a deeper and more interactive level, join us in High Performance Monthly training program.
