The real problem isn't confidence, it's fear. When results dip, we go straight to fixing performance and skip the thing underneath it.

I wrote The Age of Speed in 2007. A friend flipped it on me: there's also the speed of age. Chasing the newest trend isn't the only way to grow. Sometimes the edge comes from someone who's already lived it.

What can I say... I tried.

Got to speak at NSA Influence in Austin today! Reminded me of Yossi Ghinsberg, who changed the way I think about ironing. Now every time I iron, I think of him telling me how much he loves it.

[Vince Poscente @VincePoscente]

One of my first speeches I ever gave when I was getting my reps in was memorable to say the least...

If you want to speak, go speak. That's it. When I was starting out I gave 100 presentations in three months. Not because I had it all figured out. Because reps were the only way to get better. Get in front of the crowd as much as you possibly can.

Full speed ahead isn't about trying harder. It's about getting the Ant and the Elephant moving in the same direction.

#VincePoscente #FullSpeedAhead #AntAndElephant

[Vince Poscente @VincePoscente]

Your mind isn’t split. It’s one system, two forces. The Ant thinks it through. The Elephant just moves. Leadership starts the moment you learn to guide the Elephant instead of fighting it.

We are creatures of habit. Which means we are, whether we notice or not, creatures of decision-making habits."

Before I even start my speech, I invite the audience to put themselves in the story. That's what makes them feel seen, heard, and truly part of it.

The mountain you set out to conquer ends up behind you. That's the whole point.

The world gives you 1,000 decisions before noon. Go back to your goal. Go back to your dot. Then decide.

I didn't pay them to say that. I swear.

The players who win aren't the ones who hear the noise. They're the ones who trained their Elephant to tune it out.

Pink rubber suit. Darth Vader helmet. Strapped to the top of a car doing 100mph.

That was my training. Not because it was glamorous. Because it was what the competition wasn't willing to do.

Whatever it takes.

The World Cup is live. So is your mental game. One mind. Two forces. When your conscious and subconscious work together, pressure stops being the problem. It becomes the point. Train for it before the moment comes.

[Vince Poscente @VincePoscente]

Two facts about your business. You'll gravitate toward your current dominant thought. And you'll gravitate toward what you believe to be true.

That's repetition bias. Repeat something enough and it becomes your reality.

20 of the best skiers in the world couldn't walk a 20 foot rope. Then one thing changed everything.

Not skill. Not training. Focus.

[Vince Poscente @VincePoscente]

The gap between where you are and where you want to be isn’t talent.

It’s what’s running in the background.

[Vince Poscente @VincePoscente]

The body remembers what the mind sets in motion.

Build your anchor. Use it every time. Watch what happens.
