HAVE THE COURAGE TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP!
Quite a few years ago, I was enjoying an afternoon in the parkwith a couple of friends of mine. One of my friends had broughther dog, and as we were playing Frisbee, another dog came out ofnowhere and started viciously attacking my friend's dog. One ofmy friends, Mark, reacted instantly, running to the dogs andmanaging to beat off the attacking dog and causing it to runaway.What did I do during that momentary instant of chaos? I froze. Istood there. I just stood there, watching the whole thing.
Evennow, even though it was a minor incident taking place 10 yearsago, I still look back at that moment with shame. I resolved thatI would never let fear keep me from taking action when action wasneeded. With a few exceptions (of course), I like to think thatI've been able to live up to this resolution.I think this lesson has an important parallel in business andmarketing. One of the factors that keeps a lot of people fromsucceeding is the fact that we are usually afraid to push ourlimits. That means we end up taking the safe route and neverunderstanding what we are truly capable of.Take, for instance, starting a home business.
Most people havedreamed of owning their own business, or at least supplementingtheir income with a side venture. However, 99% of those peopledon't take the risk to actually take the first step. They areafraid that they will lose money, or that they will fail, or thatthey will just look silly.Well, first off, there are ways of beginning a business with verylittle money, especially if you don't mind starting off small. Asfor the fear of failing, so what? Failing is not something thatyou should be ashamed of -- instead, you should be proud that youhad the courage to try. The same goes for "looking silly" -- whois sillier, the person who tries something innovative andcreative, or the person who sits back and does nothing? I knowwhat my answer is to THAT question.I'm not trying to be a Tony Robbins here and say that you canachieve anything you want just by visualizing it -- all I'msaying is that NO ONE should be afraid to try to achieve theirdreams.
I'm not advocating quitting your job and sinking all yoursavings into junk bonds -- but don't let fear keep you fromexploring all your avenues. Sure, you may have some regrets, butthen again, you may end up praising the day that you decided toact. If you just sit back and do nothing, it is much more likelythat you will have regrets later in your life..

A Vital Tool For Your Fitness Success
A Training Diary is a Vital Tool For Your Fitness SuccessI know you've heard this before and it seems "basic". But it is an important key to success. And apparently, it isn't heard enough because I'd say less than 1% of the people I see in the gym keep track of their workout.An essential part of the organization needed to get each workout day right is a training diary. At its most basic minimum this is a written record of reps and poundage for every work set you do and an evaluation of each workout so that you can stay alert to warning signs of overtraining.After each workout reflect on your evaluation and, when necessary, make adjustments to avoid falling foul of overtraining.A training diary or journal is indispensable for keeping you on track for training success. No matter where you are now ? 180-pound squat or 500, 13-inch arms or 17, 135-pound bench press or 350 ? the systematic organization and focus on achieving goals that a training journal enforces will help you to get bigger,...

Strength, Speed, and Power Progression to Peak
Proper race peaking requires that you be at your best fitness level of the season at precisely the same time as your goal race(s). This means exact timing and performing the right work outs at the right time. Performing mostly high intensity work too early in the season will slowly degrade your performance as the season progresses and leave you burned physically and mentally. You should slowly progress towards your most intense training. It is the last salvo before your peak.
Conversely, performing too little high intensity work would leave you under trained and ill prepared for race intensities. Some athletes train at the same intensities, yet wonder why they do not get faster. In order to get faster you must stress the body in a way it is not used to. The body then compensates and acclimates to the specific stress, and you can then apply still greater stress levels. Your strength and power training should follow this progression as well.
