‘ My Advice. Invest in yourself ‘ : Warren Buffett
Hi, I’m coach Rob Opie, and I would like to welcome YOU onboard a five week journey crammed full with Insight, Innovation and Inspiration (and some light-hearted fun too)
I will be taking you inside the HIGH LEVEL GAME PLANS OF THE GREAT CHAMPIONS of Business, Sport and Life, sharing what they know, what they do and what they do not do – so that you too can play ‘ The Game of Life’ at the highest level.
We will be exploring Human Greatness (and its counter- part Human Implosion).
As they say:
If you want to be the best, you must learn from the best
In addition, I will be coaching live by answering any of your coaching related questions:

Firstly…….
Congratulations to you!
Having registered for this short course, YOU must already be thinking like eleven times World Surfing Champion, Kelly Slater who said:
Average is NOT where I want to be
This course is designed to help YOU to power up your game- putting you on the fast track from Good to Great to Greater.
The primary game- changing champion’s tool which we will be focussing on for the next five weeks, is one called:
PERSONAL BRANDING
Whether we know it or not, we’re all in the game of Personal Selling (closing the deal) and Personal Marketing (creating and sustaining relationships).
Talent, beauty, strength, intelligence, kindness, wealth, humour, loyalty, power are all ways we advertise and market our value as human beings.
But, few of us truly capitalise on the inherent power that lies in:
PERSONAL BRANDING
The great champions do. And it’s what sets them apart.
In this coaching newsletter, I will empower YOU with ‘the how’.
As human behaviour expert Dr John de Martini states:
If you do not empower yourself, someone or something will overpower you.
Are you ready?
Famed American billionaire Warren Buffett, who is regarded as one of the world’s greatest investors, believes that:
Less than 5 % of people get anything like their potential horsepower translated into their actual horsepower
He’s right. Potential exceeds realization for most of us.
Less than 5 % of people go on to achieve their greatest potential in life.
Let’s name this elusive and exclusive club:
‘THE 5% CLUB’
And let’s make that club a little bigger and better in the next five weeks……….
By mastering the personal branding principles, as presented on this five week online short course, you will find yourself on an inspired journey to unlock and unleash your own greatest potential in life.
A journey to become that 5% Person.
A person who masters life.
Branding is Everything: Richard Branson
To kick off, here’s a quick REALITY CHECK ON YOURSELF – as we will re-measure at the end of the course:
Below is THE GAME PLAN’s ‘Good to Great to Greater’ EVEREST BAROMETER which we use.
It measures how you perceive your own current GAME PLAN to be:
Take a helicopter view of your Professional and Personal Life – and give yourself a score on a scale of ONE TO TEN:
Remember the great champions, are in that exclusive 5% CLUB – consistently playing the game at the 9.5 out 10 level.
Think of Human Greatness as Success and Significance Sustained…… they are the 3 S’s of GREAT
Now you have your starting score.
Now, it’s time to start the journey.
We will be using an ICE BERG MODEL (as depicted below) to POWER UP YOUR PERSONAL BRAND.
There are 3 powerful P’s which are the key ingredients of a potent Personal Brand, namely
PURPOSE (WEEK TWO)
PRIORITIES (WEEK THREE)
PERFORMANCE GOALS (WEEK FOUR)
Everybody can clearly see what’s going on above the water with your performance levels.
In sport it’s even clearer via updated career statistics.
But, it’s the P’s below the water which count most – becoming vital cogs in driving human greatness:
Sustained Success & Significance
The great champions never fail to invest below the water.Why ?
Personal Branding serves as one’s compass in good times – and one’s scaffolding in bad times
It’s crucial to have all the three P’s : PERFECTLY ALIGNED- if you want to be part of the exclusive 5 % CLUB.
Next week. WEEK TWO, we will be looking at how YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE plays such an integral role in setting up right.
We will be working together to define/refine your very own unique PURPOSE IN LIFE.
That’s it for WEEK ONE…….by WEEK FIVE we will have a potent new HIGH LEVEL GAME PLAN in place for you!
In this week’s inspirational video story – here’s something to fire you up right at the start:
Remember Right Said Fred’s STAND UP FOR THE CHAMPIONS
His song is crammed full with CHAMPION lyrics:
Here we go, it’s getting close – now it’s just about who wants it most………

Till next week.
Go Great
