Monday Morning Mojo From Kevin

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 08:50:06 -0400

Burn your Boats!

"Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and gives us the "right stuff" to turn our dreams into reality."- James Womack

"There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results"- Author Unknown

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. I woke up early yesterday for a run and was surprised to find my 11 year old daughter already up, which never happens. My first thought was she was up early because she was worried about shaving her head later in the day with the St. Baldrick's foundation to raise money for Childhood cancer. When I asked her, she responded "Dad I am excited about today and I am committed to do what I said I would do". It is easy for a middle aged balding Realtor to shave his head, It isn't so easy for a 6^th grader with shoulder length hair. Her comments impressed me and made me again realize how important commitment is to achieving anything worthwhile.

This week I started with a new business coach and he also reminded me of how important commitment is with the story Hernan Cortes. It is a story I have heard often, but it never gets old. Legend has it that when Cortes landed his invading forces on the Mexican coast in 1519 he ordered his troops to burn their boats. This prevented retreat and gave his men two choices, succeed with the invasion or die. Retreat or quitting is easy when you have the option. In the face of fear he acted decisively and was victorious. His actions assured his men's commitment to the goal of invading Mexico. How often do we let our fears get in the way of taking decisive action? What could you accomplish if you made a commitment where failure wasn't an option?

The Cortes story, reminded me of a story of a carpenter that wanted to enter the field of real estate. He could have continued to work as a carpenter and eased into real estate part time like most people. However he didn't. He sold his carpentry tools and become committed to real estate. He had no choice but to succeed in real estate and rose to become a top agent. Had he kept his carpentry tools, I am not sure the results would have been the same.

One of my biggest fears has always been the freefall in skydiving. Just watching skydivers would make me sweat. I guess everyone has fears, heights, snakes, confined spaces, crowds, you name it and I think there is a phobia. For me it was skydiving. It irritated me that just the thought of skydiving scared me. I became committed to making a skydiving jump. I booked a date with a friend last summer and put a non refundable deposit down. I was committed. However, when they cramped me in an archaic, stripped down Cessna with even the pilot wearing a chute, I felt my commitment waning. A small plane like that takes about 20 minutes of circling to attain a 10,000 foot jump height. It is an eternity, and I remember having fears and doubts creeping in my mind the entire flight. I thought I was committed before I got in the plane. It dawned on me about half way up that the real commitment comes when they open the door, you get hit in the face with a cold 80 MPH wind, and you decide to throw your body towards the earth at 120 MPH. That is when you burn your boats. Once you step through the door there is no turning back. Funny thing happened. Once we started plummeting to the earth, all the fear and anxiety disappeared. The decision had been made and there was nothing to do but enjoy the ride. When I got down I did a little research and found my experience was typical. In one study I read, they found skydiver's heart rates max out immediately before the jump. As soon as they jump their heart rates actually declined, likely because they have become committed to the jump. I think life is the same way. Indecisiveness leads to fear and anxiety. Make a commitment to burn your boats or "take the plunge" and you become focused. The anxiety and fear disappear and are replaced with your vision.

What boats or "crutches" do you need to burn to become committed to your goals?

Oh yeah back to the St. Baldrick's Fundraiser. My daughter and I both shaved our heads yesterday in support of childhood cancer awareness and my daughter raised over $2,000. Thank you to everyone that contributed!

Have an awesome week and rock on!

Monday Morning Mojo From Kevin

Mon, 04 Apr 2011 10:08:50 -0400

"Carpe diem! Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day; live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have. It is later than you think."- Horace

"Every man dies - Not every man really lives."- William Ross Wallace

"The one piece of advice I can give you is this, do what turns you on. Do something that if you had all the money in the world, you'd still be doing it. You've got to have a reason to jump of bed in the Morning." - Warren Buffet

Happy Monday! It is good to be back after a week away. I was fortunate enough to be able to travel last week to Ireland with my wife. Ireland is a great country with some great people. We had an opportunity to meet many of them. I found the old adage of walking into a pub a stranger and walking out a friend to be true. However, I also learned doing shots of Irish whisky with an Irishman that has years of pub experience is probably not the smartest thing to do.

The trip reminded me of a conversation I had with my wife a couple of years ago about the time we were both turning forty. I remember mentioning a trip to Italy. My wife responded by saying she had wanted to travel to Italy her entire life and it was a top goal of hers. I was surprised. We had been together for 14 years and I had no idea it was so important to my wife. In a way, we were like two ships passing in the night in this area of our lives. Sure I had a written goals, but we had never discussed our "bucket list" of things we wanted to do together. If I hadn't off handedly mentioned Italy we may have been retired before we traveled to Italy. I think the one take away I was struck with while hiking up the Great Wall of China was watching some of the older tourists struggle with the physical demands of the climb. I clearly remember thinking I was glad I made the trip when I did and not in retirement.

So that is how I came to have a Guinness in an Irish pub with my wife. It was the next item on our list of things to do. It is easy to forget all the great things there are to do in this life. The following bucket list of 100 things to do before you die came from www.bucketquiz.com Some are serious and others are a little on the lighter side. I am sure you won't agree with all them.
