Hi {!firstname},
 
Deep thanks and appreciation for each individual who came to the Tuesday night Woman's Fitness Blueprint Preview call, "5 Secrets to Kickstart Your Success".  The topic struck a chord and inspired a rush of registrations to the Fall WFB session.  Congratulations each for taking action and being ready to GO!
 
A big chunk of the call - the set for delivery of the rest of the content - was devoted to the qualities of a winner.  This has prompted so many rich conversations in response that I've drawn some key elements of that content to share with you in today's Feature Article, "Qualities of a Winner". Do you have what it takes?  We CAN learn these skills!
 
As a matter of fact, if you missed this very motivating call and would like to hear the recording, just send me an email with your request and I'll send it along.  You can just click reply to this message, or send a new email to admin@lanimuelrath.com.
 
Though a few months off, excitement is mounting for the Muscles Mud and Merlot Spa Getaway Fitness Retreat in November.   Looking for a roomie to share expenses and just plain make things even more fun?  Sign up on the "keep me up to date on MMM" list and together we'll make it happen!  We're poised for some serious body shaping, adventures in well-being, and no doubt causing some serious trouble in Napa Valley as well  ;-)  . Last I checked we were over 50% full, so don't delay!
 
Hope you're keeping cool - heat wave here, whew!

Hearts, Hugs and Stars 
P.S.  If you missed the Woman's Fitness BluePrint Preview call on Tuesday, you may not know about a NEW special level of membership Beyond Basic - and some super new options - that are available.  But they're time sensitive (the special 5-pay option ends Friday, July 31!) so take a look today on the WFB pages!
 
P.P.S.  Remember, if you missed Tuesday's call and want to hear it, drop me a note!

Qualities of a winner
by Lani Muelrath, M.A.
 
  The qualities of a winner - at w*eight loss or any other worthwhile venture -  are not hard to recognize.
 
 Sometimes you just need to take a closer look.

 Once more, the skills of a winner can be applied to any endeavor. 
 
 
 AND they can be learned.

For starters:

  • Winners create the life that they want
  • Winners don't make excuses
  • Winners take charge rather than taking a number in the complaint line
  • Winners continually invest in themselves

Learning to take the "winners" approach is a key element of the Woman's Fitness BluePrint program.  And as a result, I see my students becoming - well, winners.
 
I'm watching THEM stop making excuses and do what it takes to experience a real transformation.
 
I'm seeing THEM do whatever it takes to make the changes needed to realize their dreams. They come to realize that a winning attitude is flowing, organic, resilient, adventurous.  Not without it's challenges.

And because of that, they are seeing amazing results.
 
As a matter of fact, they have all been successful with getting productively consistent with their diet and exercise practices.
 
They have - and actively cultivate - a bigger vision of what's possible for themselves.
 
And they've lost w*eight - if that is what they were seeking - everyone of them, who applied the tools of the program.
 
And most inspiring of all, I see them overcoming self-imposed obstacles to taking on an extraordinary challenge that turns out to be a personal breakthrough experience.
 
How to practice the skills of a winner
 
Create the life that you want
 

Don't just wait for something to happen, or fall in your  lap.  Do what it takes to create a certain outcome. Create the mental outlook for opportunity. Decide what you want, what it takes, and then do it. Don't just wait for something to happen, or fall in your lap. Get support, fellow seekers, and/or coaching to accelerate your process.

Rather than getting stopped by small ideas and small thinking, be willing to stretch your vision of what's
possible.
 
Give up making excuses
 

Maybe you know someone like this.  They say they will do anything to overcome their health or weight problem, but when presented with the opportunity, or the answer, they'll make all kinds of excuses for why they won't do it.  It becomes a justification - maybe it's the time, or the money, or some other reason.
 
Rather than getting stopped by small ideas and small thinking, be willing to stretch your idea of what's possible.
 
The opposite of accepting responsibility is making excuses.  Making excuses or not taking action, and not moving yourself forward.  It's an insidious thing.  Really, don't we see people do this all the time? Making excuses and failing to take action.

Take charge rather than complain
 
What if we aspired to this rule:  you cannot complain about something - anything - that you are not willing to do something about.  If you aren't willing to do something differently, then you can't complain about it.
 
If you understand how much in your state of fitness is YOUR choice, then a huge difference can be made.  This means attitude, mindset, outlook - because that is the place where it starts. In your life, relationships, whatever - because along with responsibility comes success, achievement, happiness, and motivation.
 
It becomes a matter of personal responsibility.  Understanding your actions - or lack of actions - determines to a great degree what you have in your life.

Invest in yourself
 

Don't reinvent the wheel - if you see something that is working for someone else, seek out the person, the program, the model, or whatever has been tried and true effective, or whatever it is that that person has.  Use their experience to find a shortcut to your own solutions.
 
Each time I've invested in myself, I see that the results are multiple that which I invested.  I am talking about investment in personal growth as well as business growth.
 
So often we are hesitant to invest in that which is a service which is what will improve our lives.  It somehow seems easier to invest in tangible products.  But as a person who values quality of life and experiences over things, I've learned to invest in THAT.  And it's made a huge difference for me.
