Are you in the 'Premier League' ?


Sunday, 24th May 2009.


It was a nailbiting finish to see which football teams would stay in the Premier League-and who would drop out of it.

And, as usual, it wasn't all about footwork.

It was about 'mindwork'. Drive, passion, 'killer instinct'-and some hoping another team would 'save' them with their own result.

The winning attitude always comes from mindset, which can stem from the leader of the pack.

You can see it in the players body language, facial expressions, and reactions to mistakes.


It's just like life. Your life.


Don't save your best performance until you are struggling to save your own position.

Be a star now. Today. Play at your best, and play to win-without relying on anyone except yourself.


What a game.

Stand out-for the right reasons!

Nearly every day I see an example of someone who gives out a poor impression.
They're either rude, standoffish, can't be bothered, or just not welcoming.

If only they realised how damaging it is -for their personal image. They would be horrified.
People buy people -face to face, by e mail, by phone, by anything.

So for those of you who don't have the time to make an effort, consider this.

When you do have time, it won't matter-and even if you try as hard it won't be enough.
You've already stood out-for the wrong reasons.

Be likeable. Every day. To anyone you come into contact with.

It pays.
