The 5 Things High Performers NEVER Say7 Oct55 min

<p>We&#39;ve sat down with hundreds of high performers. These are five sentences we&#39;ve never heard a single one of them say...</p><br><p>&quot;I&#39;ll start when I&#39;m ready.&quot; &quot;That&#39;s just the way I am.&quot; &quot;It&#39;s not fair.&quot; &quot;I&#39;ve done enough.&quot; &quot;I did it on my own.&quot; None of them is a character flaw, but each one quietly pulls you away from where you want to be.</p><br><p>From the High Performance archive, Keely Hodgkinson explains why she puts her success down to 90% mindset, in a year when almost nobody believed she&#39;d make the Olympic team. Matthew Syed remembers bombing a talk at Goldman Sachs and then going to Toastmasters every fortnight for three years. Joe Hart talks about England&#39;s Euro 2016 exit to Iceland without blaming a soul. Alun Wyn Jones explains why complacency was his biggest fear, and Laura Kenny shows why her story was never a solo effort, starting with setting fire to a jacket potato in Belgium at 18.</p><br><p>Along the way, Damian brings in the research on &quot;if-then&quot; plans that help you follow through, the labels we let others stick on us, why growth mindset might matter less than we&#39;ve been told, and the difference between harmonious and obsessive passion. Jake questions whether never having &quot;done enough&quot; is healthy at all, and explains why the people who made your life hardest helped shape you too.</p><br><p>Full episodes links for the guests featured: </p><ul><li>Keely Hodgkinson <a href="https://pod.fo/e/252844" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pod.fo/e/252844</a></li><li>Matthew Syed<a href=" https://pod.fo/e/164cec " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://pod.fo/e/164cec </a></li><li>Joe Hart <a href="https://pod.fo/e/24b0f2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pod.fo/e/24b0f2</a></li><li>Alun Wyn Jones <a href="https://pod.fo/e/2b6885" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pod.fo/e/2b6885</a></li><li>Laura Kenny <a href="https://pod.fo/e/249586" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pod.fo/e/249586</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>XTB 👉 To find out more and make your money work, use code HPP at: <a href="https://highpfrmc.com/XTB_HPP_AU " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://highpfrmc.com/XTB_HPP_AU </a></p><br><p>Vitality 👉 We&#39;ve partnered with Vitality because our philosophies align perfectly: healthy habits build high performance and can lead to a healthier
