Turnarounds usually take three years.

That’s the norm in business and sport – with even more time required in politics.

Hats off then to President Cyril Ramaphosa who has taken tremendous strides in YEAR ONE – against all the odds.

At this year’s Davos ,World Economic Forum, TEAM SOUTH AFRICA walked tall.

Just one year into what Cyril Ramaphosa has themed as ‘’SOUTH AFRICA’S RENEWAL’  – he had most people listening with more than open ears.

He told them about YEAR ONE – the progress made.

He told them about what is still coming for – and from BRAND SOUTH AFRICA.

Alec Hogg, himself a 16 year Davos veteran, expressed his heartfelt feelings:

It was confident, it was humble, it had a sense of humour and it was the right people. People you could engage and listen to so, I felt very proud to be a South African for the first time in quite a long time.                                                                

Then it was off to India for Cyril Ramaphosa in his quest to continue rebuilding foreign relations and attract the magical 100 billion dollars his special investment envoys are aiming for by 2022.

Talking to some of India’s wealthiest business people, President Ramaphosa had the following to add to a remarkable brand renewal story:

I can see, I can smell, I can almost touch those people who are going to help us. If you want me to go touch them, I will even do that.

Welgedaan Cyril.

Year One is done and dusted.

President Ramaphosa exudes what every great leader is made of: F.C.B.

Faith, Confidence & Belief is a potent champion’s cocktail.

Our turnaround is happening.

It’s time for all South Africans to start believing.

As Ramaphosa alluded to at a recent foreign investment conference in Sandton:

 Invest wisely. Buy now while South Africa is still cheap.’

I cannot wait for the next two years to see just how far BRAND SOUTH AFRICA can go …….

Go Great.

In my role as a life coach I get the opportunity to see both sides of ‘The Equation of Life’.

I get to research and work with people who are the ultimate high achievers – those that go on to achieve at another level in business, sport and life.

And I also get to research and work with those who pay the ultimate price in life – and tragically even lose their lives.

As human beings we all seek to live inspired fulfilled lives of happiness and health, but sometimes we do get it unwittingly or habitually wrong.

Here are potent insights into the THREE greatest performance destructors in life.

By knowing what they are – YOU can easily avoid these ‘Human Traps ‘- and go on to achieve your own greatest potential in your life.

 

PERFORMANCE DESTRUCTOR NUMBER ONE:   ADOPTING THE WRONG MINDSET

Mindset matters most.

We all have to make ‘THE MINDSET CHOICE’ – and there is zero middle road.

Victor or Victim?

The minute we allow a victim mindset to creep in – we are effectively self sabotaging our own lives.

Our best made plans in life will prove meaningless if we adopt an underlying victim mindset – that of coming from a position of weakness – that of entitlement.

Avoid it.

Empower yourself by choosing to be a VICTOR.

Seek to always be coming from a position of strength

PERFORMANCE DESTRUCTOR NUMBER TWO:  NOT INVESTING IN YOUR HEALTH

It’s near impossible to be a high achiever when you are battling your health.

Invest in all three realms of health, namely:

Physical (what you put into your body), Chemical (what you put into your mouth) and Emotional (what you put into your mind)

By far the NUMBER ONE health destructor which I encounter is CANCER.

One in four South Africans is associated with cancer in some form or another. Either they have it themselves, or they have a relative or a friend battling the disease.

Tragically, it’s a war which medical science is not winning worldwide.

Why?

Most oncologists choose to primarily focus on a triad of symptomatic treatments – namely chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

But to win ‘the cancer war’ – it’s far more empowering to’ think different ‘and ask the critical cancer question:

What’s the ONE & ONLY common denominator amongst all cancer sufferers?

There is only ONE.

Here it is.

It’s going to surprise you.

They all fall into the ‘human trap’ of either unwittingly or habitually subjecting themselves to a highly toxic emotion – LONG TERM RESENTMENT. (It’s just there – held either consciously or subconsciously)

Resentment is like drinking poison – and then hoping it will kill your enemies : Nelson Mandela-  a cancer survivor

Most of us simply have little or no idea how toxic emotions can destruct lives – take lives.

Yes, they can destroy lives and families, but here is the good news.

In the hundreds of cancer patients I have researched or helped to date – by cutting off the toxic ‘cancer fuel’ called RESENTMENT – they will soon find themselves back on the road to happiness, health and performance.

Empower your life by investing in all three of the realms of life and health – Physical. Chemical and the all important one called EMOTIONAL.

Here’s the golden rule for living a balanced healthy life.

Too much or too little of anything for too long creates imbalance.

Imbalance creates illness.Balance creates wellness

PERFORMANCE DESTRUCTOR NUMBER THREE:  OPERATING A LOW LEVEL GAME PLAN

Low achievers are kings or queens of the ‘P’ called PROCRASTINATION.

It happens when one operates a low level game plan with little or no congruency between the three potent P’s which drive performance.

PURPOSE, PRIORITIES & PERFORMANCE GOALS 

Low performers seek motivation from the outside.

High performers seek inspiration from the inside.

Empower yourself by operating a congruent high level game plan – one which is Authentic, Aligned and Actionable.

If you do not empower yourself, someone or something will overpower you : Dr John de Martini

Go Great.
