Here are 3 winning formulas to making your day, week, year, and, ultimately, your life great...

#1 — Show Up Early For Everything!

Vince Lombardi had this 15-minute rule where he said champions show up 15 minutes early.

If you want to be excited and motivated... Show up early for every event. Don't be late.

if you go in feeling bad about it because you’re late and you’re having to be like "oh guys, sorry I am late, I got caught up in traffic and the ambulance got in front of me."

Now you’re spending all your energy making up excuses, exaggerating, maybe even lying. Why? Because you didn’t get there early.

You want to be motivated? You want to stay excited; you want to feel good about yourself? You want to be ethical, dependable? You want to be the go-to guy or gal? You want to be the person that everybody counts on?

Then show up early for everything.

#2 — Go The Extra Mile!

If you say, "I’ve got to do 20 push-ups." Then go another two.

Why? Because I am trying to discipline myself to believe in me.

See, if I can’t do it for me, I'm not going to do it for anybody else.

Be honest with yourself. Could you do something extra?

And what would that do for you if you did?

So let’s say you got a client. You told the client that you were going to do "X" and then you do "X" plus another mile.

Who benefits the most?

You’re saying, "The client benefits the most." No, you do! You benefit the most because you know you did what you said you would do and a little more.

It’s about you being motivated. Go the extra mile even after you know that you’ve already satisfied your commitment.

#3 — Push Yourself Further!

Many times you think you just cannot push yourself any further. You feel you've reached your limit.

When this happens, instead of abandoning your goals, look for someone to actually help you discover that you can do more.

The moment a person gets the idea that they can do more, the doors open to opportunity and possibility. You begin to think "Hey, I just did that so what else is possible?"

Instead of surrounding yourself with people who breach your dreams and goals with negativity, find a trainer or a mastermind group of others who are striving for more. Hold one another accountable and encourage doing more, not less.

Nothing else pays.
