When you truly study top performers in any field, what sets them apart is not their physical skill it is how they control their minds. Stan Beecham dives into how great minds think differently. I proved them wrong because I took the first steps to being my best. Nobody thought I would host my own people skills course called People School.īut here I am today, having done all of that.Nobody thought I would have the courage to give my own TED talk.

Nobody thought I would write a book on how to captivate everyone you meet. It wasn’t so long ago that I was voted most awkward in my graduating class. I know there’s hope because I’m living proof of it. This post is for those of you who know you have a greater calling.īut if you are unsatisfied and want to become better… there’s hope. If you don’t love what you are doing and are satisfied with living a life of mediocrity, then here’s my advice to you: I wished to take more psychology, sociology, and writing classes. Then, 4 years into school I realized I hated every single one of my classes. I didn’t really have a passion for language but I was adept at learning them quickly. In college I studied foreign languages because I was told I was good at them. Here’s the dilemma: If people don’t LOVE what they are doing, they will become the best at what they HATE. And hey, you might even become the best at it. So if you’re counting pennies as a cashier at Walmart, you’ll be good at… counting pennies. When we work hard at something, all that happens is we get good at doing that thing. Only after hard work can we feel good about ourselves. And then, after years of toiling, the magic starts to happen. We’ve been told to put our heads down, to focus on our work. We’ve been sold the lie countless times through movies, books, and even by our parents. Here’s the lie: hard work is all it takes to become the best. So if you don’t have that confidence, maybe you’ve been told a lie that we’ve been told over and over again. Here’s a BIG truth: People who are the best have the confidence to want to become the best in the first place. Then maybe you need more confidence….and I am happy to help. In fact, if you didn’t answer with a resounding yes and a mental fist pump… They dare to push themselves to the extreme. They know how to be the best versions of themselves. During the 5 th year of the 1,000 day marathon, they have to go 7.5 days without food, water or rest.įrom 1885 to 1988 only 46 men have completed the 1,000 day marathon. The 7th year, they run 84 kilometers per day for 100 days and then do another 100 days where they run 40 kilometers each day. The 6th year, they run 100 days, 60 kilometers each day. For the first 5 years they run 100 days, 40 kilometers each day. They are called the Gyoja, or marathon monks. 40 kilometers per day! They did this for 5 years. Specifically he and his fellow monks ran 40 kilometers a day for 100 days. In 1885, a monk set out to run a 1,000 day marathon. 
Do you know how to become the best version of yourself?
