In this chaotic, noisy, and ever-changing world, it can be hard to decipher if someone is the ‘real deal’. You can usually tell within a few seconds if someone is being authentic, but can they lead? Can they make a difference? Can they make an impact? Whether you are an entrepreneur, executive, athlete, or a leader committed to moving the needle in…

High-performers, achievers and leaders of all types invariably experience he frustration of getting knocked off their mission from time to time. It happens, but it shouldn’t be a permanent thing; and if it happens too often, it can have lasting impact on your results. How can we prevent getting derailed from our mission? And how can we avoid costly…

It’s more precious than diamonds. More valuable than gold. It can take a lifetime to earn…and seconds to lose. And when it comes to leadership—in business and life—it’s more important than money, time, or any other resource in the world. We’re talking about trust. And if you understand how it’s earned and what it takes to keep it, you will be a lea…

What can you learn fromthe career of a bamboo farmer? Why must leaders in any field—from sports to business to public office and even growing a family—develop the power of patience? Anyone can lose their temper. Anyone can throw their weight around. And anyone can allow their ego, anger and lack of self-control to go unchecked and be used as a way …

Motivation is overrated. In fact, people who rely on motivation memes/videos/soundbites in order to “get started” usually find themselves trapped in a never-ending loop of chasing a dopamine rush instead of pursuing their mission. Look at any high-performer and you’ll likely see someone who has an internal drive, and an inner “spark” that keeps the…

Elevating your performance. Striving to be you best. Going after your most audacious goals and dreams…they are all great ambitions. But they pale in comparison to elevating others to do the same and achieve their own individual greatness... Self leadership is a basic requirement for all Leaders and anyone serious about creating influence. Burt lead…

What does it take to be great at what you do? How many hours of work does it really take to become an ‘expert’? What if you could shorten that time, and get even better results in the process? Believe it or not, expertise and high achievement isn’t just about putting in the time; it’s about putting in the right kind of effort with an emphasis on hi…

By now, it should come as little surprise that top performers in any field rely upon and follow the guidance of great coaches. From athletes to executives and entrepreneurs, the greats rely on the counsel and wisdom of coaches to elevate their game. With that said, it pays to take a buyer-beware approach to hiring a coach. And if you identify as a …

As a high-achiever and leader, you likely wrestle with tackling the big tasks, making the tough decision and moving the mission forward. It can be daunting at times. But just look to top-performing teams and individuals and you will notice a methodology to the way they approach their missions. Regardless of how big the mission or competitive the ar…

It's been said many times over on The High-Altitude Mentorship Show™ podcast that success is a team sport. And to that end, achieving optimal performance—be it individual or organizational performance—hinges on building and leaning on strong teams. Team performance is driven by strong leadership, and high-performing leaders know that the best teams…

One of the most significant (if not misunderstood) mindsets a leader can implement is a mindset of abundance. Abundance…interesting concept but what does it truly mean? While many “Thought leaders”, gurus, “coaches” profess the message of abundance, few live by it. And while the notion is inspiring, it means for more than having an overflowing back…

Let’s face it: we all have things in life we’d rather avoid. Call it putting off the pain, delaying the dread or just flat-out procrastination, there comes a time in everyone’s life when we have to saddle up and get the job done. And it’s especially true for High-Performers. Whether it’s that tough workout at the crack of dawn, the big proposal to …

There are lots of slick and sexy platitudes out there, like “Commitment To Excellence” and “Dedicated To Greatness”. And what book/course/seminar on achievement would be complete with the buzz words “next level” interspersed throughout the ad copy? The reality is that excellence, greatness and mastery all come over time. And not just the passage of…

Like it or not, fear is a part of life. Regardless of whether you're running a business, training for an athletic competition, putting your art out into the world for all to see or raising a family, fear is an ever-preset part of the human experience. But fear is one of the most misunderstood factors in success. Fear is important. It can be a healt…

I haven’t had a drop of alcohol in 30 days. No liquor, no wine, no mixed drinks, no beer (my preferred poison)…not even a blast of mouthwash. I gave myself the challenge of abstaining for 30 days from something I love in order to learn a thing or two about someone I love: ME. What can 30 days without alcohol teach about high performance strategy an…

No doubt about it, Uber is a force to be reckoned with. Whether you need a ride to the airport or a lift form the bar, a person in their own vehicle is a few keystrokes away on your smartphone. They’ll even deliver food to you. But Uber is far more than a rideshare company or a technology firm; Uber is a disruptor. A tone-setting, global brand. And…

If you’ve ever watched the hit TV show, “Shark Tank”, you’re likely familiar with the phrase. It’s spoken by the investors when they’ve arrived at the conclusion that they don’t want to participate in a proposed business deal, and the direct simplicity of that phrase speaks volumes about he decision-making process that led up to it. And believe it …

It may seem like a weird combination—like bacon-infused ice cream, or Mariachi heavy metal music (more awesome than you might think)—but perhaps the greatest one-two punch in high-performance leadership is the combination of confidence and humility. And they work together even better than you might imagine. On the surface, it may sound strange, and…

Let’s face it: those goals you’ve set for yourself are a lot easier to dream about than they are to execute…especially if they are the big and challenging kind that push you to be your best. Fact is, anything worth pursuing is a challenge, and it’s easy to be seduced into slacking off from time to time. Whether it’s a fitness or nutrition goal, a b…

What a world we live in… Easy convenience at the push of a button. Limitless options, customizable comfort, on-demand luxury. Almost instant fulfillment of our every desire (it even includes free shipping). And it it slowly killing us. We live in a world of convenience and ease; a world that is making us miserable and soft. As humans we need advent…

This may come as a surprise to some, but life isn’t always sunshine and lollipops. And when you are going after big goals and missions, it can even be downright challenging. High-Performers know this, and the best-of-the-best make a point to expect it. They practically inoculate themselves to setbacks and disappointment by thinking through their mi…

There is at least one trait you have in common with even the highest performers and most impressive producers…but it’s a trait that you may not want to keep. No matter how driven, no matter how successful and no matter how disciplined we are, we ALL make excuses from time to time. The difference is that High-Performers find a way to overcome their …

Let’s face it, there is tons of hype around the notion of “going big” toward goals, or “playing bigger” in life. And don’t forget the ever-present “hustle” drivel that seems to be the hot topic of achievement and better performance. And all of that is great. Except, if it doesn’t work for you. There’s a new(er) movement—the anti-hustle movement—tha…

It goes without saying that results are the byproduct of action. And consistent action—otherwise know as habits—can either drive higher performance…or diminish results. Habits serve as a force multiplier and have compounding effect depending on the nature of the behavior. The question is, what kind of habits are driving your performance? Join JT fo…

By now, it should go without saying that Leaders, Champions and High-Performers of all types do NOT set New Years resolutions. Why would they? They are committed to excellence, not folly. They are focused on winning, not just participating. They are serious about growth and improvement, not futility. And they rely on strategy and technique, not hap…

Life’s too short to live in misery. And no matter what your station in life is, we all experience our fair share of challenges and frustrations. It’s our responsibility to live life full out and to bring the best of what we have every day.

The times, as the old saying goes, they are a changin’. Some say for the better, and others…not so much. Suffice it to say, these are interesting times. Never has there been a more critical time for Leaders—people of strong character, clear vision and stainless still resolve—to step the hell up and LEAD. The time for pithy platitudes and fuzzy moti…

The personal development industry has been lying to you. For decades, they have touted the message that you need to be “improved”, refined, polished and poised in order to get ahead. Makes sense…if you goal is to settle for the mainstream notions of “success”. But the danger there is that, as you submit to convention, you may be forgetting—even bur…

Elevating performance—be it in business, sports, Leadership and life—is predicated on doing high-value actions with precision, efficiency and consistency. And in most cases, superior performance is 80% mental and 20% technical skill. So it goes without saying that in order to elevate performance in any area of focus requires dialing-in your mental …

“Tough times don’t last, tough people do”…or so the old saying goes. Yes, the road to excellence is often riddled with the potholes of adversity, but that adversity can serve to strengthen the soul and define the character of the person courageous enough to walk the path.

There is a simple, yet powerful cycle that leads to results in any endeavor. Whether it be in sports, business, art…even relationships, this cycle not only drives success, but may also predict it.

There’s something to be said for following protocol. For being disciplined to follow protocol, sticking to the plan and staying the course. And then…there’s the case for breaking the mold. And breaking the rules. But before we can break the rules, we have to understand them, and even work toward mastering them. So what might we achieve by breaking …

We need to talk. There is a huge problem plaguing society today, and it has quietly crept into how we do business, how we compete on the field of play and even how we treat the people closest to us.
