For 45 minutes, while laying in bed on your back (so you don’t fall asleep) perform what I call in my mentoring methodology MVP: Meditation, Visualization and Prayer. For the meditation aspect, you can concentrate on your breathing or work with the sensations in your body, releasing any blockages of fear or resentment. For the visualization part, take some time to see yourself living as if a particular ambition has been realized. And end the hour with a silent or verbal prayer. Maybe it’s for your growth or maybe it’s for the health of your family or perhaps it’s for the betterment of the world.

If you want 2025 to be the finest year of your life and love learning/growing, definitely read these details to get into one of the most life-changing online programs available anywhere in the world today. Registration will close before you know it so don’t miss this wonderful opportunity. I’d love to help you!

If you've never meditated or if you're a regular meditator, I just want you to deepen your commitment and your devotion to meditating at least for 20 minutes every single day. It will help you so much in terms of your mental focus, your clarity of thought, your daily creativity. It'll increase your energy. It will even give you better health and much stronger physicality. So meditate to own your craft. and to really live a beautiful life and to improve that mindset of yours. Related to meditation is visualization. And if you study a lot of the great athletes, what they do is they love to visualize. So I have a lot of NBA players that I've coached and a lot of famous
footballers and a lot of NHLers and a lot of major league baseball players who follow my work. And when I work with these people, when I coach these people, one of the things we dial in on was the power of visualization. What was that movie? It was about Mickey Lauda and the other F1 motor car racer. And I don't remember the name of the movie, you've probably seen it, but the larger point is simply this. There was a part or a scene in the movie where James Hunt, the British
F1 racer, had his eyes closed. And it was this really big race. And he was sitting down and he had his hands on the imagine steering wheel. and he had his arm on the gear and he had his feet, one of his feet on the accelerator. And he literally went through every single turn, every single straightaway of the entire race on the picture screen of his imagination. And we know for many decades people have been suggesting to us that if you want to materialize your greatest ambitions.
If you want to live your highest hopes, if you want to perform like an elite athlete, it's really important to visualize. And yet, if you don't do the things required of world-class performance, how can you possibly achieve world-class performance? But the key really is to remember that everything is created twice. If you look at the Taj Mahal, if you look at Piazza Navona in Rome, If you look at the Great
Wall of China, if you look at any great business, whether it's an Apple, whether it's a FedEx, whether it's an Under Armour, whether it's a Nike, whether it's an Amazon,
any of the great social platforms, if you look at the great innovations of humankind, whether it is the internet, whether it is the Wright Brothers who came up with flight, whether it is Jonas Salk and his cure for polio, no matter what the innovation was, no matter what it is in our physical world, that all began with an idea. on a woman or a man's imagination. Visualization is incredibly powerful. So what I do is personally, I get up very, very early and I just lay in bed and I not only
pray, and if you don't believe in religious prayer, that's absolutely fine, I call it scientific prayer. I just pray because there's tons of information that says prayer is a game changer. And then what I do is I meditate. And then what I do is I visualize, here's how I want to show up in the meeting at work today. Here's what I want to, here's how I want to behave when maybe I don't want to do my second-wind workout. I see myself, here's how I want my day to unfold when I'm with my
loved ones. The willpower researchers call this pre-commitment strategies. Pre-commitment strategies. You basically think through in advance. how you will behave when the temptation shows up. So when the temptation shows up, you act at world-class. The point really is make the time to visualize. Just try it out so that you build a stronger interior core so ultimately your external empires rise with who you become on the inside.
