10 Behaviors That Will Make You Unstoppable in 100 Days

Brain Snack #153

My job is to help you to become an unstoppable powerhouse and achieve them in the fastest, most efficient manner possible.

If you’re ready to make wild progress and experience exponential growth over the next 100 days…here’s your ten-point plan for getting the job done.

1. GET SERIOUS

One thing about successful people is that at some point in their life, each one has looked in the mirror and decided that once and for all that…

They were done playing games,

They were done settling for table scraps,

They were done standing by idly on the sideline while other people that they did not perceive as being neither as bright nor as talented lived in nicer homes and enjoyed a better quality of life.

It was at that moment that they decided to get serious about being a mother, father, spouse, boss, teacher, leader or student.

You can disagree strenuously with the following statements, but I promise you this…if you really want to transform your life in the next 100 days…then you must accept them as reality.

Why?

It’s actually very simple…DECISION ALWAYS PRECEDES ACTION.

You will become rich when you get serious about becoming rich and not one second sooner.

You will get in great physical shape only after you get serious about getting in great physical shape.

You will make advances in your career or business only after you decide to make excellence your operating standard.

You will enjoy a great marriage and a loving relationship only after you decide to get serious about having a great marriage.

When you get serious and fully commit to the goal of stepping up your game…You leave your amateur ways behind and announce within yourself that you have earned your battle scars…that you have learned from your mistakes…and that you are taking your destiny into your own very capable hands.

2. BECOME AN OFFENSIVE THREAT

The single best strategy for becoming unstoppable…and for achieving your goals at a high rate of speed is to…play a strong, relentless offense.

Becoming unstoppable…achieving your goals quickly begins with the right strategy.

Strategy is defined as a plan of action intentionally designed to achieve a desired goal.

There are two and only two types of strategy…offense and defense.

Offensive strategy exists to advance your position, to score goals, to put points on the board…to win.

Offensive strategy is proactive…it means playing to win.

Defensive strategy exists to hold ground, to prevent the offense or opposition from scoring.

Defensive strategy is reactive…it means playing not to lose.

Without apology or sugarcoating…far too many people spend the majority of their lives deploying the wrong strategy.

They choose to play defense.

They choose to procrastinate and resist change.

They choose to maintain the status quo.

They choose to lower their standards.

They choose to settle for less.

They merely exist and live a small fear filled life.

As a result of playing defense, they operate in a reactive, wait-and-see mode, constantly retreating, forever back pedaling and have very little to show on the highlight reel.

On the other hand, those that choose to deploy a strong, relentless and determined offense are constantly advancing, gaining ground, building momentum, proactively creating the conditions for positive change and achieving their goals fast.

Cultivating the ability to achieve goals quickly, effectively and creatively is a mandatory condition for success for the simple reason that great offensive skills will allow you to maintain control and live life on your terms.

Grand Chess Master Adolf Anderssen said it best…“Attack! Always Attack!”.

In Chess, the process of making the pieces move has received a special name…it’s called the attack.

The attack is an aggressive, proactive move meant to advance and strengthen your position, remove obstructions and weaken your opponent’s defense.

In life as in Chess…it’s not wise to be a passive player…to operate from a defensive position as you’ll be checkmated in no time and the game…as well as your life will be over.

3. MOVE FAST

If the objective is to become an unstoppable powerhouse and to transform your life in the next 100 days…than you owe it to yourself to find the fastest way to get it done.

If you can’t, won’t or simply refuse to accept or dismiss out of hand what I’m about to share with you…you’re making a huge mistake, one that will cost you your chance at crushing your goals in the next 100 days.

THINK ABOUT IT…

If the goal is to become debt free…why perpetuate the pain and do it slowly?

If the goal is to lose weight and get in great shape…why on earth should it be a long draw out process?

If the goal is to get better grades…why should it take any longer than the next exam to turn things around?

If the goal is to become the sales leader…why should it take until next quarter or next year when you can wear the crown next month?

The truth is…any goal or plan expands so as to fill and reinforce the unrealistic amount of time you have made available for its completion.

The solution? Move fast. Use speed as a massive competitive weapon.

4. START SAYING NO

“No” is the most powerful word in your vocabulary as well as a complete sentence.

It’s the easiest word for setting a limit, holding firm to boundaries, and being clear about what you will or will not do during the next 100 days.

You will be infinitely more productive once you recognize that:

1. “No” is not a dirty word, negative word, nor is it a selfish word. Learning to say “No” is liberating as it frees up your time to focus on your key priorities.

2. You are in complete control of how you spend your time and your life. Saying “No” allows you more time and energy to pursue your goals and wildest ambitions.

3. Saying, “No,” increases the value of the things you can, “Yes” to.

The fact is…success demands a short YES list and a long NO list, yet most people have that one reverse engineered…and pay dearly for it.

Saying “No” is the most strategic decision you can make as it improves and accelerates your effectiveness — guaranteeing a fast and focused performance sprint.

5. FOCUS ON RESULTS

The greatest waste of untapped resources in this world are the goals that don’t translate into purposeful, goal directed behavior.

Goals like getting in shape, writing a novel, learning a language, or even unpacking the boxes from your last move are meaningless without action.

To become an unstoppable powerhouse in the the next 100 days…you must judiciously focus on results for the simple reason that in the end…only results matter. Intentions alone are incapable of putting food on your table, clothes on your back, or gas in your car.

I’ll bottom line this one for you…Your results serve as judge, jury and execution of your performance.

This truth applies exactly the same way to a sales person’s ability to meet or exceed quota, to a student’s ability to maintain good grades in school, to a Coaches ability to build a winning record, as well as to your ability to crush your goals in the next 100 days.

There is a rule without an exception…therefore, stop focusing on intentions and start focusing on results.

6. BE UNREASONABLE

Hitting the ground running and knocking the ball out of the park in the next 100 days that you become unreasonable in what you expect from yourself, and in the unreasonable demands you make upon others.

The vast majority of people on the other hand settle for a small squeak of their potential because they bought into the belief that simply being reasonable is the way to go.

How foolish and casualty creating that belief is.

The reasonable person adapts themselves to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adopt the world to himself.

Therefore, all large, significant and lasting progress depends on the unreasonable person.

True success is achieved by the minority of people and requires an unconventional way of thinking.

That’s why great achievements are, have been, and will always be the results of unreasonable people driven by unreasonable expectations and exceptionally high standards.

The only way to become an unstoppable powerhouse is to take the road less traveled…to set goals and plans that are unreasonable…and going for it in a big way.

7. GO ABOVE AND BEYOND

The distance between those who make big things happen in the next 100 days and those who are passive players…has everything to do with one’s readiness, willingness and ability to go above and beyond expectations.

Delivering only what your customer expects will give you job security (maybe), but it won’t make you stand out.

And if you don’t stand out, you won’t get promoted, you won’t get the referral, you won’t get the repeat business, and you won’t get the lifetime loyalty, devotion and reverence you’re after.

In short, you can’t expect extraordinary results or superior compensation without consistently going above and beyond your client’s expectations.

The masses are always foolishly on the lookout for a new gimmick, a shiny new performance hack, a shortcut…but the truth is, the quickest way to advance your career, to earn trust, to develop a world-class reputation and to crush your goals in 100 days is by going ABOVE AND BEYOND.

You either get the importance of it, or you do not.

8. RISE AND SHINE

If you’re ever going to find your greatness…you must decide that what you want is BIGGER and far more important than any fear, excuse or self-limiting belief which prevents you from achieving it.

By doing so, you will rise to every challenge with confidence, conviction, and certainty.

If you think about it, you only have two choices when faced with an obstacle, challenge or opportunity: you can choose to rise and shine…or you can let it beat you down into submission.

As with most everything in life, it matters more what we do about what happens to us more than what actually happens to us.

You must decide that you will not be defeated, you will not succumb to difficulty, nor will you ever tolerate an excuse…as your greatest glory is not in falling, but in rising and shining every time you fall.

9. BE RELENTLESS

Your success in becoming an unstoppable powerhouse in the next 100 days is linked directly to your heart…your will…your steadfast commitment to your goals.

The relentless attitude is the winning attitude, and the remarkable thing about life is that we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

You cannot ever let fatigue make you a coward, nor can you ever expect to win without struggling, without suffering, without sacrificing…as these are all essential elements for making the next 100 days of your life, the best 100 days of your life.

Being relentless is a commitment, an empowering mindset that stands in the face of obstacles, hardships, temptations, financial difficulties, failing physical health, broken relationships, and stiff competition.

Victory belongs neither to the faint-hearted nor to the weak-willed or the uncommitted. Not if the enemy is great and his resolution strong. Only by facing the opponent head-on and with a vengeance can the battle be won.

Crushing your goals in 100 days and becoming an unstoppable powerhouse necessitates that you fight on with undying, relentless determination.

10. STAY HUNGRY

Every goal poses a simple question: How badly do you want it?

To achieve the goal of becoming an unstoppable powerhouse in the next 100 days…you must respond with some version of this answer: MORE!

And then you have to prove it…that’s where hunger and passion come into the picture.

Passion is hardcore devotion to a person, goal or cause; it infuses life with meaning, joy, significance and unbridled enthusiasm.

It’s the desire in your heart, it’s the fire in your belly…it’s the twinkle in your eye…it’s your magnificent obsession.

Passion is your psychological mojo, it’s the reason why you get up early and work late, it’s the why that points the way…and it is an indispensable virtue that is far more valuable than money, power, or fame.

Whatever your goals for the next 100 days…it’s your passion, the white hot flame burning in your belly…that is the ONLY thing that will keep you committed to success.

Therefore, stay hungry and prove to yourself everyday how badly you want it by taking take massive relentless action.

QUICK CHANGE ARTIST

While adapting to the relentless pace of change is difficult…not adapting is fatal as history is littered with the corpses of very successful people and companies who were brought to their knees, and put in their grave due to their inability or unwillingness to adapt or adjust to the changing environment in which they found themselves in.

In almost every case, the sources of failure are obvious and avoidable — a failure to implement technologies that have already been developed, an arrogant disregard for changing customer demands, a complacent attitude towards new competitors.

Throw in fear, the gravitational pull of resistance, and a love affair with the comfort zone… and you’ve got yourself the perfect storm.

Change descends upon each one of us equally; the difference is that some of us realize it faster than others and adapt accordingly.

That’s why in your quest to crush your goals and transform your life in 100 days…you must adapt to circumstances and become a quick change artist.
