I am really excited to share a really cool experience that recently happened to me, which demonstrates the critically important role that our mindset plays in achieving our goals.

It’s obvious to everyone in the gym that I spend just as much or more time strengthening my mental muscles as I do my arms, chest, and legs. I walk into the gym with intense focus, which increases with every second during my workout. Nothing can bring me out of this focus. I walk through the door with great intention and purpose.

Each rep of each set brings me one step closer to achieving my goals.

We want to have the energy to keep up with them and participate in fun activities with them. We want to be around to see our kids grow up. We want to see them get married.

I just finished watching an outstanding video on the topic of increasing your productivity from my friend Frank Rumbauskas. This is a ‘leaked’ video from his upcoming program, “Your Attitude Sucks”… I love that title The video is a bit long (40 minutes) but it is well worth it. I usually click off a page when I see a video that long, but Frank and Scott Sandland had my full attention for the complete 40 minutes.

How To Explode Your Productivity

By the way, Frank also includes home office fitness into his workday to boost his productivity, energy, and focus.
