1.

Performance = Potential - Interference

Potential is unlimited.

Interference is an internal issue caused by your mental blocks.

2.

Two types of fear that limit you:

1) Lack of belief in yourself2) The fear of damaging the success

that you’ve achieved

3.Distinguish between procrastination

and creative avoidance.

Procrastination is caused by laziness. We acknowledge that we’re not doing things we should be doing.

Creative avoidance is high-performing people’s subconscious decision of playing it safe.

4.

If you’re not sure whether you’re implementing your full potential, get an opinion from an objective third party.

Pay attention to how you phrase your question. It’s good to ask if they see you’re holding back somewhere.

5.

Decide whether you value more

certainty or the adventure of gaining experience, learning, and growing.

6.

If you have ever considered being an entrepreneur, you should not let the

fear paralyze you and give it a try.

7.To achieve your goals:

1) Figure out, which areas

you prioritize in life

2) Establish rituals that help you achieve your goals in the priority areas

8.Distinguish between the things you should do and things you want to do.

Get done fast with the things you should do — these are obligations you’re not passionate about.

Focus on the things you want to do. This is where you truly feel motivated.

9.

Greg believes bravery is about being the person you really want to be and can be proud of, not

about doing uncomfortable things occasionally.

You should make bravery your lifestyle.

10.

Seek help from a business coach

They can tell where you’re limiting yourself and point out the steps you

should take to overcome these limitations.

11.

Prefer personal coaching to books.

People transform people better than information does.

12.

Have a chat with the coach before you hire him/her.

You need to make sure that the match is good enough.

13.

If you’re hesitating about hiring a coach, think about your goals. Business coaching service is an

investment in your future and in your startup team.
